I have yet to see one of these that gives any benefit over
ncdu
, which is amazing. I guess if you need to log the output this makes sense but that’s pretty niche. - thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 5•2 months ago
I personally use my own script over
du
itself. It also lists the biggest files and has same options-n
and-d
as well. :D https://github.com/thingsiplay/biggest It will count hardlinks only once, therefore list only the first found file of a hardlink; even across other directories.Edit: BTW directory sizes are also output in an instant:
biggest /usr/bin
andbiggest -n 10 /usr/bin/*
to list the 10 biggest files in that directory.
