Perhaps I am overthinking (I can't deny that I do that frequently), however on both Ubuntu and OS X,
gives me a total approximately 8 times as big as expected (probably because it's adding $1 which includes a summary of every folder, a size for every entry within said folders, plus the final total). It also doesn't seem to actually print a path.
So, cleaning up a bit
sort of does what I want, although the output is a bit spazzy. I don't really need the full path, and some of these will be too long for the output anyway.
Ideally, I'd printf() just the root-level folders for the argument, but splitting that out of $2 doesn't seem to work. Again, there's no path printed to the console.
I appreciate the alternate viewpoint. I'll keep exploring it.
