For each directory that is listed, preface the files with a line
`total BLOCKS', where BLOCKS is the total disk allocation for all
files in that directory. The block size currently defaults to 1024
bytes, but this can be overridden (*note Block size::). The
BLOCKS computed counts each hard link separately; this is arguably
a deficiency.
thanks a lot guys, got it that it is total no. of blocks the files occupy in that directory , i thought them to be no. of files or something used below code to find the total no. of bytes

Not sure I understand what you want to achieve.
The sum you output is the total sum of blocks that ls outputs anyhow. This could be done with a oneliner as well:
If you want total bytes instead, use column 5, or, use the stat command if available on your system.

Ok, another fun hiccup in my UNIX learning curve. I am trying to count the number of occurrences of an IP address across multiple files named example.hits. I can extract the number of occurrences from the files individually but when you use grep -c with multiple files you get the output similar to... (5 Replies)
