- EdgeSize - display free or used size of directories
-
- by Robert Lang
-
- This program allows you to find out all sorts of information about free
- space or used space on drives.
-
- Usage :
-
- ESize [-qfn] [dir1] [dir2] ...
-
- default is : ESize on current directory...
-
- options : -q - "quiet" output, subtotals aren't shown, only the result
- -f - "free" space, free space on the supplied dirs in shown
- -n - "neat" output, includes indication of bytes, kilobytes, or megs.
-
- ESize was written to perform two functions, show free space total on a number
- of drives, and to show used space in directories.
-
- In my shell-startup, I have the following line :
-
- ESize -qnf sys: work: work2:
-
- This shows the free space available on all of my hard drives on my 3000, and
- hence the free space available to my system.
-
- When I want to know how much space a directory is using, I simply do
-
- ESize work:robert
-
- Since ESize defaults to totalling all directories....since the -q option
- is used, all subdirectories will show their totals and eventually a total
- will be shown.
-
- Experiment with it, you'll understand, type ESize ? for usage...
-
- This program is as usual dedicated to my girlfriend, Suzanne Day.
