Different ways has different advantages & disadvantages such as some of the above will not go recursively, and some of them will not consider files and show only dirs.
To overcome all those, use find command as
Code:
find . -type f -exec ls -s {} \; | sort -n -r | head -5
I hope you can understand the above, if need to simple edits to fit your need.
I was hoping to get some assistance with this C program I am working on. The goal is to find the largest file in the current directory and then display this filename along with the filesize. What I have so far will display all the files in the current directory. But, how do I deal with "grabbing"... (1 Reply)

rake
RAKE(1) Ruby Programmers Reference Guide RAKE(1)NAME
rake -- Ruby Make
SYNOPSIS
rake [--f Rakefile] [--version] [-CGNPgnqstv] [-D [PATTERN]] [-E CODE] [-I LIBDIR] [-R RAKELIBDIR] [-T [PATTERN]] [-e CODE] [-p CODE]
[-r MODULE] [--rules] [variable=value] target ...
DESCRIPTION
Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.
Rake has the following features:
o Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax
to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).
o Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
o Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.
o Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.
o A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
OPTIONS --version Display the program version.
-C
--classic-namespace
Put Task and FileTask in the top level namespace

--describe [PATTERN]
Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.
