- du - show disk use
-
- SYNOPSIS
- du [/h] [/nnn] name
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Lists the disk space used by the given directory, and in all
- subdirectories thereof. If no name is given, lists the current
- directory. If the "/h" switch is used, it will report hidden and
- system directories as well; in any case, the disk usage figures will
- includes files contained in hidden directories.
-
- Gives subtotals for all subdirectories in the given directory.
-
- The first column gives the total bytes actually used; the second column
- gives disk space consumed. The difference is that disk space is
- allocated in chunks, each file will (on the average) waste half a chunk.
- 1K=1024 bytes. If the /nnn parameter is given, the cluster size used
- for this computation will be:
- /0 the actual cluster size for this drive (default;
- overrides other previous settings)
- /1 512 bytes (single sided diskette)
- /2 1024 bytes (double sided diskette) (useful for figuring
- out how much space a given directory would take up on a
- diskette).
- /nnn (nnn>=3) nnn
- /nnK nn * 1024
-
- FILES
- \local\du.com
- \local\src\du.asm
-
- BUGS
- Does not report disk space used by subdirectories themselves (just
- their files).
