KTIMPORTDISKUSAGE(1)

💖 ktImportDiskUsage 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ktImportDiskUsage, a User Commands situation — it lives in section 1 of the manual, so you know it's a command you actually run in your shell 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ktImportDiskUsage — explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts 🥧🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So what does this icon do?? It creates a Krona chart of disk usage of files and folders in the specified directory. Literally the cutest way to find out who's been eating all your storage. 👑

A couple of things it will not do, and this is important, no cap:

• Symbolic links and mount points within the directory are not followed. It stays in its lane. 🚫🔗
• Small files or folders (that are less than 0.1% of the total size) will be grouped. The tiny little guys get bundled together so your chart doesn't turn into confetti. 🎀

Also the chart can be colored by log[10] of the number of days since each file or folder was modified — so you can lowkey see what's ancient and what's fresh. 🦋

Here's the vibe of how you call it:

ktImportDiskUsage [options] <dir>

And here are the options, bestie, both of them, we love a short list:

• -o <string> — Output file name. [Default: 'du.krona.html'] ✨ Name your baby whatever you want, but if you don't, it's gonna be du.krona.html.
• -u <string> — URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). Reduces size of charts and allows updates, though charts will not work without access to this URL. 🔗 So like… smaller charts and you get updates, but if that URL is unreachable your chart is literally just a sad empty vibe. Not a tradeoff to make casually, fr fr.

⚠️ heads up: don't forget the <dir> argument, she needs a directory to snoop through 💅

and that's the whole page, periodt 💜 this was ktImportDiskUsage 2.8, from June 2021 — go forth and chart your disk, main character 💖✨🌈
