Usage

du [OPTION]... --files0-from=F


Manual

Summarize disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.

-a, --all
write counts for all files, not just directories

--apparent-size
print apparent sizes, rather than disk usage; although the
apparent size is usually smaller, it may be larger due to holes
in (‘sparse’) files, internal fragmentation, indirect blocks,
and the like

-B, --block-size=SIZE
use SIZE-byte blocks

-b, --bytes
equivalent to ‘--apparent-size --block-size=1’

-c, --total
produce a grand total

-D, --dereference-args
dereference only symlinks that are listed on the command line

--files0-from=F
summarize disk usage of the NUL-terminated file names specified
in file F; If F is - then read names from standard input

-H equivalent to --dereference-args (-D)

-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

--si like -h, but use powers of 1000 not 1024

-k like --block-size=1K

-l, --count-links
count sizes many times if hard linked

-m like --block-size=1M

-L, --dereference
dereference all symbolic links

-P, --no-dereference
don’t follow any symbolic links (this is the default)

-0, --null
end each output line with 0 byte rather than newline

-S, --separate-dirs
do not include size of subdirectories

-s, --summarize
display only a total for each argument

-x, --one-file-system
skip directories on different file systems

-X, --exclude-from=FILE
exclude files that match any pattern in FILE

--exclude=PATTERN
exclude files that match PATTERN

--max-depth=N
print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it
is N or fewer levels below the command line argument;
--max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

--time show time of the last modification of any file in the directory,
or any of its subdirectories

--time=WORD
show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime, access,
use, ctime or status

--time-style=STYLE
show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso, iso, +FORMAT
FORMAT is interpreted like ‘date’

--help display this help and exit

--version
output version information and exit

Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from
--block-size, and the DU_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE environ-
ment variables. Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).

SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of fol-
lowing: KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T,
P, E, Z, Y.
