50 .Sh DESCRIPTION
51 The
52 .Nm du
53 utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
54 and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
55 argument.
56 If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
57 the current directory is displayed.
58 .Pp
59 The options are as follows:
60 .Bl -tag -width indent
61 .It Fl a
62 Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
63 .It Fl c
64 Display a grand total.
65 .It Fl d Ar depth
66 Display an entry for all files and directories
67 .Ar depth
68 directories deep.
69 .It Fl H
70 Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file
71 hierarchies are not followed.
72 .It Fl h
73 "Human-readable" output.
74 Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte,
75 Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte.
76 .It Fl I Ar mask
77 Ignore files and directories matching the specified
78 .Ar mask .
79 .It Fl k
80 Display block counts in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks.
81 .It Fl L
82 Symbolic links on the command line and in file hierarchies are followed.
83 .It Fl m
84 Display block counts in 1048576-byte (1-Mbyte) blocks.
85 .It Fl P
86 No symbolic links are followed.
87 This is the default.
88 .It Fl r
89 Generate messages about directories that cannot be read, files
90 that cannot be opened, and so on.
91 This is the default case.
92 This option exists solely for conformance with
93 .St -xpg4 .
94 .It Fl s
95 Display an entry for each specified file.
96 (Equivalent to
97 .Fl d Li 0 )
98 .It Fl x
99 File system mount points are not traversed.
100 .El
101 .Pp
102 The
103 .Nm du
104 utility counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
105 reference unless the
106 .Fl H
107 or
108 .Fl L
109 option is specified.
110 If either the
111 .Fl H
112 or
113 .Fl L
114 options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
115 followed is not counted or displayed.
116 If more than one of the
117 .Fl H ,
118 .Fl L ,
119 and
120 .Fl P
121 options is specified, the last one given is used.
122 .Pp
123 Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
124 time per
125 .Nm du
126 execution.
127 .Sh ENVIRONMENT
128 .Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
129 .It Ev BLOCKSIZE
130 If the environment variable
131 .Ev BLOCKSIZE
132 is set, and the
133 .Fl k
134 option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
135 size block.
136 If
137 .Ev BLOCKSIZE
138 is not set, and the
139 .Fl k
140 option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks.
141 .El
142 .Sh LEGACY DESCRIPTION
143 In legacy mode, only one of the
144 .Fl H ,
145 .Fl L ,
146 or
147 .Fl P
148 options may be specified.
149 .Pp
150 The command will detect and report a SYMLOOP error
151 (loop involving symbolic links).
152 In legacy mode, this is not the case.
