DU(1)                                                                    DU(1)


NAME
       du - summarize disk usage

SYNOPSIS
       du [ -s ] [ -a ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Du  gives  the  number  of kilobytes contained in all files and, recur‐
       sively, 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.
