- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Thank you for taking the time to download DIRSIZE. DIRSIZE is a program
- that allows you to quickly and easily determine the total size (in both
- files and bytes) of any directory. Please note that by "directory"
- DIRSIZE means the "named directory" plus all "child directories" under that
- directory. In other words, if you do a DIRSIZE of your C:\ root directory,
- you'll actually see how many files/bytes are occupied on your entire C: hard
- drive.
-
-
- How it works
- ------------
-
- Invoking DIRSIZE is simple. First, you should copy DIRSIZE to one of the
- directories listed in your PATH variable (most people have a directory named
- UTILS or PROGRAMS, etc). Then you will be able to execute DIRSIZE no matter
- where you currently are on your hard drive.
-
- To invoke DIRSIZE, simply type:
-
- DIRSIZE [directory_name]
-
- If you don't specify a directory name, DIRSIZE will operate on the current
- default directory. You can also specify directory names on other drives,
- or "logical" directories (such as ".."). A few examples:
-
- DIRSIZE - the current directory
- DIRSIZE E:\Utils - the E:\UTILS\ directory
- DIRSIZE .. - the current directory's parent directory
- DIRSIZE "i:\A long directory" - supports HPFS, too!
-
- You can also specify a FILEMASK with DIRSIZE if you wish. I doubt that
- this option will be used very often, but you can use it to only get the file
- sizes of specific files in a directory. Some examples:
-
- DIRSIZE *.c - all .C files in this directory
- DIRSIZE E:\WINDOWS\*.BAT - all .BAT files in the Windows directory

- Command Line Switches
-
-
-
- Switch: -P
- Meaning: page break
- Description: The '-p' switch tells DIRSIZE to stop the screen display and
- wait for a keypress after every 24 display lines. Note that
- this switch is ignored if you are redirecting the output of
- DIRSIZE to something other than the screen.
-
-
- Switch: -T
- Meaning: only show the totals
- Description: The '-t' switch tells DIRSIZE to only display the totals and
- not each individual directory. Only the "top level"
- directory name will be shown, but all "child" directories
- WILL be scanned as normal.
-
-
- Switch: -?
- Meaning: help!
- Description: The '-?' causes DIRSIZE to display a short help screen and
- then abort the program.
