       -c     Display three columns giving file size in kilobytes, number of files of that size, and cumulative total of kilobytes in that size or
	      smaller file.  The last row is used as an overflow bucket and is the total of all files greater than 500 kilobytes.

       -f     Display count of kilobytes and number of files owned by each user or group.

       -g     Report on groups.
