38.Sh NAME
39.Nm du

41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm du
43.Op Fl H | Fl L | Fl P
44.Op Fl a | Fl s
45.Op Fl x
46.Op Ar file ...
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm du
50utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
51and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
52argument.
53If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
54the current directory is displayed.
55The number of blocks are in the same units as that returned by the
56.Xr stat 2
57system call, i.e. 512-byte blocks.
58Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
59.Pp
60The options are as follows:
61.Bl -tag -width Ds
62.It Fl H
63Symbolic links on the command line are followed.
64(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
65.It Fl L
66All symbolic links are followed.
67.It Fl P
68No symbolic links are followed.
69.It Fl a
70Display an entry for each file in the file hierarchy.
71.It Fl k
72Report in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks rather than the default.  Note that
73this overrides the
74.Ev BLOCKSIZE
75setting from the environment.
76.It Fl s
77Display only the grand total for the specified files.
78.It Fl x
79Filesystem mount points are not traversed.
80.El
81.Pp
82.Nm Du
83counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
84reference unless the
85.Fl H
86or
87.Fl L
88option is specified.
89If either the
90.Fl H
91or
92.Fl L
93options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
94followed is not counted or displayed.
95The
96.Fl H ,
97.Fl L
98and
99.Fl P
100options override each other and the command's actions are determined
101by the last one specified.
102.Pp
103Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
104time per
105.Nm du
106execution.
107.Sh ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
108.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
109.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
110If the environmental variable
111.Ev BLOCKSIZE
112is set, the block counts will be displayed in units of that size block.
