Total file size of a subset list
Thank you! Yes, that worked very well. But now I'm curious about a couple of things (i.e., please explain a little of how it works):
Instead of bothering you with even more questions than, I looked awk in google and found gnu.org and searched on +=. It gave me this:
ls -l files | awk '{ x += $5 }
END { print "total K-bytes: " (x + 1023)/1024 }'
1. Should I be using the (x + 1023)/1024 stated above (I'm wondering why they have that)?
2. I have GB of files, is there a different number I can use to get GB or do I just add 2 zero's?
3. Why %4.2f\n (what does that mean)?
Thanks!

INNDF(8) System Manager's Manual INNDF(8)
NAME
inndf - Replacement for 'df | awk' in innwatch.ctl
SYNOPSIS
inndf [ -i ] filesystem(s) | [ -n ] [ -o ]
DESCRIPTION
Inndf is a replacement for 'df | awk' in innwatch.ctl(5) or used in innstat(8). Inndf reports free Kilobytes (not disk blocks) or free
inodes. Kilobytes in this case means 1024 bytes.
If arguments are multiply specified, the output includes multiple lines which shows each specified argument and the value. This is used by
innstat(8).
Inndf doesn't sync, forks less, is less complicated, etc.
If <enableoverview in inn.conf> is set to ``true'' and other overview settings are already done, inndf can also show the usage of overview
space or the number of stored data.
OPTIONS
-i If the ``-i'' flag is used, then the number of free inodes are reported instead of the number of free Kilobytes.
-n If the ``-n'' flag is used, then total number of stored overview data is reported. The number counts different data even if article
is crossposted.
-o If the ``-o'' flag is used, then overview space usage are reported as percentage. ``-o'' cannot be always available. This can be
available for ``buffindexed'' ovmethod currently.
HISTORY
Inndf was written by Ian Dickinson <idickins@fore.com>. The initial manual page was written by Swa Frantzen <Swa.Frantzen@Belgium.EU.net>.
Thanks also to the following folks for ports, patches and comments: Mahesh Ramachandran <rr@eel.ufl.edu>, Chuck Swiger <chuck@its.com>,
