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
