How to use du
command
If you want to check a file or a directory in the Linux system, you can use du
command to do it:
du "File"
In addition, if you want to control the displayed output unit, for example, input the initial size in GB, you can add parameter:
du --block-size=1G "File"
In this way, the final output unit is GB.
In addition, there are many commonly used parameters:
-a output file size -b display in bytes -c output individual file size, total -D output the source file size of the symbolic link -m uses MB as the display unit -s only output the sum -S When outputting the contents of the directory, the size of the subdirectory is not included --exclude ignore the specified file or directory --max-depth only search the specified directory depth
