DU(1)                    DOMAIN/IX SYS5                     DU(1)



NAME
     du - summarize disk usage

USAGE
     du [ -ars ] [ names ]

DESCRIPTION
     Du prints the number of blocks (1024 bytes per block) con-
     tained in all files and directories specified by the names
     argument.  The block count includes the indirect blocks of
     the file.  A file with two or more links is only counted
     once.  If the names argument is missing, a period (.) is
     used.

OPTIONS
     -a        Generate an entry for each file.

     -r        Generate messages about directories that cannot be
               read, files that cannot be opened, etc.  Du is
               normally silent about such things.

     -s        Print only the grand total of blocks for each of
               the specified names.

CAUTIONS
     Absence of the -a or -s options causes an entry to be gen-
     erated for each directory only.

     If the -a option is not used, nondirectories given as argu-
     ments are not listed.

     If too many distinct linked files exist, du counts the
     excess files more than once.

     Files with holes in them will get an incorrect block count.
