49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
53and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
54argument.
55If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
56the current directory is displayed.
57If the
58.Fl k
59flag is specified, the number of 1024-byte
60blocks used by the file is displayed, otherwise
61.Xr getbsize 3
62is used to determine the preferred block size.
63Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
64.Pp
65The options are as follows:
66.Bl -tag -width indent
67.It Fl P
68No symbolic links are followed.
69(default)
70.It Fl H
71Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file
72hierarchies are not followed.
73.It Fl L
74Symbolic links on the command line and in file hierarchies are followed.
75.It Fl a
76Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
77.It Fl h
78"Human-readable" output.  Use 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.  This is the default case.
83This option exists solely for conformance with
84.St -xpg4 .
85.It Fl s
86Display an entry for each specified file.
87(Equivalent to
88.Fl d
890 )
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 x
99Filesystem mount points are not traversed.
100.El
101.Pp
102.Nm Du
103counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
104reference unless the
105.Fl H
106or
107.Fl L
108option is specified.
109If either the
110.Fl H
111or
112.Fl L
113options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
114followed is not counted or displayed.
115.Pp
116Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
117time per
118.Nm
119execution.
120.Sh ENVIRONMENT
121.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
122.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
123If the environment variable
124.Ev BLOCKSIZE
125is set, and the
126.Fl k
127option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
128size block.
129If
130.Ev BLOCKSIZE
131is not set, and the
132.Fl k
133option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks.
