NAME
du - estimate file space usage

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

DESCRIPTION

Summarize disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories.

-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
