πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -f, --file β€” print file information. the main character report πŸ“βœ¨
  • -F, --filemetadata β€” print file space information for the file's metadata. how much room is the metadata taking up, bestie? we're finding out πŸ’–
  • -g, --group β€” print group information. groups stay getting the spotlight πŸ‘‘
  • -G, --groupmetadata β€” print file space information for groups' metadata. yes, the groups get a space audit too πŸŽ€
  • -d, --dset β€” print dataset information. datasets are lowkey the whole point 🌈
  • -D, --dsetmetadata β€” print file space information for datasets' metadata. how many bytes are the datasets' metadata eating? we must know πŸ“
  • -T, --dtypemetadata β€” print datasets' datatype metadata. datatype tea, served fresh β˜•πŸ’œ
