.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "du command" "" "\fLdu\fP \(em display disk usage"
.IX display "disk usage"
.I du
gives the number of kilobytes contained in all files and, recursively,
directories within each specified directory or file
.IR name .
If
.I name
is missing, \fB.\fR (the current directory) is used.
.LP
A file which has multiple links to it is only counted once.
.SH SYSTEM V DESCRIPTION
The System V version of
.I du
gives the number of 512-byte blocks rather than the number of kilobytes.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-s
Only display the grand total for each of the specified
.IR name s.
.TP
.B \-a
Generate an entry for each file.
.LP
Entries are generated only for each directory in the absence of options.
.SH SYSTEM V OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-r
The System V version of
.I du
is normally silent about directories that cannot be read,
files that cannot be opened, etc.
The
.B \-r
option will cause
.I du
to generate messages in such instances.
.SH EXAMPLE
.LP
Here is an example of using \fIdu\fP in a directory. We used the
\fIpwd\fP command to identify the directory, then used \fIdu\fP to show
the usage of all the subdirectories in that directory. The grand total
for the directory is the last entry in the display:
.RS
.nf
% \fBpwd\fP
/usr/henry/misc
% \fBdu\fP

use
.B \-a .

If there are too many distinct linked files,
.I du
will count the excess files more than once.
