DESCRIPTION

12       Du  gives  the  number  of kilobytes contained in all files and, recur‐
13       sively, directories within each specified directory or file  name.   If
14       name is missing, `.'  is used.
15
16       The  argument -s causes only the grand total to be given.  The argument
17       -a causes an entry to be generated for each file.   Absence  of  either
18       causes an entry to be generated for each directory only.

20       A file which has two links to it is only counted once.

BUGS

26       Non-directories  given  as  arguments  (not  under  -a  option) are not
27       listed.
28       If there are too many distinct linked files, du counts the excess files
29       multiply.
