- Dave's DU
- V1.02
-
- ©1991 by Dave Schreiber. All rights reserved. This program may be
- freely distributed. The only charges allowed in relation to distributing
- this program is in relation to media, shipping, and handling costs.
-
- This utility is based upon the Unix utility of the same name. It prints
- out the size of the contents of the given directory. If there are
- directories inside that directory, it will find the size of those. If they
- have directories inside them, the sizes of those directories are found as
- well, and so on.
-
- There's one feature of this version that seperates it from all other
- DU utilities for the Amiga: it will not act upon soft links (a part of
- Kickstart version 2.00 and higher). With other DU programs, if you create
- a link to a directory's parent, then perform a DU upon that directory, the
- DU program will end up going around in circles. This version of DU was
- created with links in mind, however, and doesn't suffer from this problem.
-
- One other note: this version of DU is pure. This means that it can
- be made resident, using the Resident command (Workbench 1.3 and higher).
- You should do a 'protect DU +p' to set the pure bit on the program (not all
- Amiga archivers save the pure bit).
-
- Usage:
- DU [-s][-a][<dir>]
- -s -- Print only the grand total size
- -a -- Print the size for each file
- <dir> -- Starting directory
-
- Compiling instructions:
- lc DU
- blink with DU.lnk
