SYNOPSIS
du [-arshHkLxo] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
Du gives the number of blocks (512 bytes) contained in all files and
(recursively) directories within each specified directory or file name.
If name is missing, `.' is used.
The following options are supported:
-a This option causes an entry to be generated for each file.
Absence of either causes an entry to be generated for each
directory only.
-r Show error messages. This is the default with
/usr/5bin/posix/du and /usr/5bin/posix2001/du.
-s This option causes only the grand total to be given. Overrides
the -a option.
The following options have been introduced by POSIX.2:
-k Print statistics in units of 1024 bytes, rounded up to the next
unit.
-x Do not cross device boundaries when descending a directory hier-
archy.
The following options have been introduced by POSIX.1-2001:
-H Follow symbolic links given on the command line and count the
size of the files they refer to, but do not follow symbolic
links found during directory traversal and count the sizes of
these symbolic links themselves.
-L Always follow symbolic links and count the sizes of the files
they refer to.
The following options are extensions:
-h Print statistics in human-readable powers of 1024, i.e. `K' for
kilobyte, `M' for megabyte, `G' for gigabyte, `T' for terabyte,
`P' for petabyte, and `E' for exabyte.
-o Do not add sizes of subdirectories to parent directories.
A file which has two links to it is only counted once.
