FDU(1)

💖 NAME 💖 — FDU(1)

okay so bestie, welcome to FDU(1) — the manual for fdu, brought to you by the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. The whole assignment is Estimate file space usage (using Filesys::DiskUsage). It’s giving disk-usage realness, and honestly? Slay. Lowkey iconic, highkey useful. 💅✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fdu [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Options? Files? Both? The synopsis said yes. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

fdu summarizes disk usage of each FILE. For directories, it handles that recursively — main character energy, periodt. 🌀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -L — Dereference all symbolic links. Follow every link, bestie.
• -X PATTERN — Exclude files that match PATTERN. If it matches, it is literally not invited to the total. 🙈
• -h — Print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G). Digit soup? Not today.
• -H — Likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024. Same human-readable vibe, base-1000 math.
• -s N — Assume sector size of N.
• -l N — Assume link size of N (ignored if -L). Heads up: if -L is on, this one gets ignored.
• -s N — Assume sector size of N. Yes, this is listed again in the original — we keep it twice, no cap. 🫶
• -l N — Assume link size of N (ignored if -L). Also listed twice; still ignored if -L is active. 💀
• -m MAX-DEPTH — Print the total for a directory (or file) only if it is N or fewer levels below the command line argument. Depth check, but only for the total.
• -t N — If printing sizes in human readable format, truncate all values by the Nth place. Snip snip at the Nth place. ✂️

okay that’s the whole FDU(1) page, and we ate. This one is perl v5.42.3, dated 2019-07-28, and it’s still FDU(1) at the bottom. Vibe check complete — bye bestie, iykyk 💖✨🎀
