45.Op Ar file ...
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm du
49utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
50and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
51argument.
52If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
53the current directory is displayed.
54The number of blocks are in the same units as that returned by the
55.Xr stat 2
56system call, i.e. 512-byte blocks.
57Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
58.Pp
59The options are as follows:
60.Bl -tag -width Ds
61.It Fl H
62Symbolic links on the command line are followed.
63(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
64.It Fl L
65All symbolic links are followed.
66.It Fl P
67No symbolic links are followed.
68.It Fl a
69Display an entry for each file in the file hierarchy.
70.It Fl k
71Report in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks rather than the default.  Note that
72this overrides the
73.Ev BLOCKSIZE
74setting from the environment.
75.It Fl s
76Display only the grand total for the specified files.
77.It Fl x
78Filesystem mount points are not traversed.
79.El
80.Pp
81.Nm Du
82counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
83reference unless the
84.Fl H
85or
86.Fl L
87option is specified.
88If either the
89.Fl H
90or
91.Fl L
92options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
93followed is not counted or displayed.
94The
95.Fl H ,
96.Fl L
97and
98.Fl P
99options override each other and the command's actions are determined
100by the last one specified.
101.Pp
102Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
103time per
104.Nm du
105execution.
106.Sh ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
107.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
108.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
109If the environmental variable
110.Ev BLOCKSIZE
111is set, the block counts will be displayed in units of that size block.
