     DU(1)                                                       DU(1)

     NAME
          du - disk usage

     SYNOPSIS
          du [ -a ] [ -bsize ] [ file ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Du gives the number of Kbytes allocated to data blocks of
          named files and, recursively, of files in named directories.
          By default, the disk block size is assumed to be 1024 bytes.
          Other values can be set by the -b option; size is the number
          of bytes, optionally suffixed k to specify multiplication by
          1024.  If file is missing, the current directory is used.
          The count for a directory includes the counts of the con-
          tained files and directories.  The -a option prints the num-
          ber of blocks for every file in a directory.  Normally
          counts are printed only for contained directories.
