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