24.4.5. Using the du Command
The
du command allows you to displays the amount of space that is being used by files in a directory. To display the disk usage for each of the subdirectories in the current working directory, run the command with no additional command-line options:
du
For example:
~]$ du
14972 ./Downloads
4 ./.gnome2
4 ./.mozilla/extensions
4 ./.mozilla/plugins
12 ./.mozilla
15004 .
By default, the
du command displays the disk usage in kilobytes. To view the information in megabytes and gigabytes, supply the -h command-line option, which causes the utility to display the values in a human-readable format:
du-h
For instance:
~]$ du -h
15M ./Downloads
4.0K ./.gnome2
4.0K ./.mozilla/extensions
4.0K ./.mozilla/plugins
12K ./.mozilla
15M .
At the end of the list, the
du command always shows the grand total for the current directory. To display only this information, supply the -s command-line option:
du-sh
For example:
~]$ du -sh
15M .
For a complete list of available command-line options, see the du(1) manual page.
