Operating Systems Linux Suggest update of two commands - who to write to? Post 302388610 by pludi on Thursday 21st of January 2010 02:45:46 AM

You can (usually) find out who's writing a particular program by checking who wrote the package. On RPM based systems use
Code:
rpm -qif $( which du )

, on Debian-based systems
Code:
dpkg -S $( which du )

That should get you the coreutils package, which is originally hosted on http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

However, try both commands with the '-h' switch (for "human"), and you'll have sizes in GB too.
