NAME
       du - estimate file space usage

SYNOPSIS
       du [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       Summarize  disk usage of each FILE, recursively for direc-
       tories.

       -a, --all
              write counts for all files, not just directories

       --block-size=SIZE
              use SIZE-byte blocks

       -b, --bytes
              print size in bytes

       -c, --total
              produce a grand total

       -D, --dereference-args
              dereference PATHs when symbolic link

       -h, --human-readable
              print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M
              2G)

       -H, --si
              likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024

       -k, --kilobytes
              like --block-size=1024

       -l, --count-links
              count sizes many times if hard linked

       -L, --dereference
              dereference all symbolic links

       -m, --megabytes
              like --block-size=1048576

       -S, --separate-dirs
              do not include size of subdirectories

       -s, --summarize
              display only a total for each argument

       -x, --one-file-system
              skip directories on different filesystems

       -X     FILE, --exclude-from=FILE  Exclude files that match
              any pattern in FILE.

       --exclude=PAT
              Exclude files that match PAT.

       --max-depth=N
              print the total for  a  directory  (or  file,  with
              --all)  only  if  it is N or fewer levels below the
              command line argument;  --max-depth=0 is  the  same
              as --summarize

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit
