Directory Usage (DU)
This utility program shows the amount of disk space used by files in one or
many directories.
Starting from the current or specified directory, DU looks at all the
subordinate directories. The total number of files, the space they use,
and the number of directories below a directory are displayed.
DU allows you to manage your disk space more effectively by showing how
your disk is being used. The output can be read on the screen, or it can
be sent to a file for processing by your spreadsheet program.
Controlling DU
Command line switches are available to change the way DU reports. They may
be abbreviated to a slash followed by their first letter.
/page Display one screen (25 lines) of information then pause
/quiet Suppress headers
/csv Format output as Comma Separated Values, to make importing into a
spreadsheet program easier
/actual Display actual number of bytes in files, rather than the disk
space that the files occupy. If the /csv option is used, both
actual and occupied bytes totals are displayed
/K Display disk space totals as kilobytes, rather than bytes
/help Display help screen
Sending output to a file
The output of DU is always sent to "Standard Output", while this is
normally your screen, it can be "re-directed" to a file by use of the ">"
symbol in the DOS command line. The file whose name follows the ">" will
be created or replaced with the output information from DU. It is not
recommended to use the /page switch when redirecting output. You can send
output to the printer by adding "> prn" to the end of your DU command line.
Examples
DU /page \data Display directory usage of /DATA
and all its subdirectories to the
screen
DU /csv a:\ > DISK.CSV Send directory usage report of all
of drive a: in CSV format to a file
called DISK.CSV
