DU(1) General Commands Manual DU(1)
NAME
du - summarize disk usage
SYNOPSIS
du [ -s ] [ -a ] [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Du gives the number of kilobytes contained in all files and, recursively, directories within each specified directory or file name. If
name is missing, `.' is used.
The argument -s causes only the grand total to be given. The argument -a causes an entry to be generated for each file. Absence of either
causes an entry to be generated for each directory only.
A file which has two links to it is only counted once.
SEE ALSO
df(1), quot(8)
BUGS
Non-directories given as arguments (not under -a option) are not listed.
If there are too many distinct linked files, du counts the excess files multiply.
