Display Directories with their sizes in human readable format
Hi,

I want to list all the directories present in a particular location and want to display their sizes as well. I know "ls -lh" but it doesn't show the size of the complete directory. So i want something like

dir1 266 MB
dir2 2 KB
dir3 22 MB
...
...
file1 10 Kb
.....

Thanks
Sarbjit
