DESCRIPTION

14       ncdu  (NCurses  Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of the well-known
15       'du', and provides a fast way to see what directories  are  using  your
16       disk space.

OPTIONS

20       -h     Print a small help message
21
22       -q     Quiet  mode.  While calculating disk space, ncdu will update the
23              screen 10 times a second by default, this will be  decreased  to
24              once  every  2  seconds  in quiet mode. Use this feature to save
25              bandwidth over remote connections.
26
27       -v     Print version.
28
29       -x     Only count files and directories on the same filesystem  as  the
30              specified dir.
31
32       --exclude PATTERN
33              Exclude  files  that  match  PATTERN. This argument can be added
34              multiple times to add more patterns.
35
36       -X FILE, --exclude-from FILE
37              Exclude files that match any pattern in FILE. Patterns should be
38              seperated by a newline.

70              note that even though you can't see the hidden files and  direc‐
71              tories,  they are still there and they are still included in the
72              directory sizes. If you suspect that the  totals  shown  at  the
73              bottom  of  the  screen  are  not correct, make sure you haven't
