DESCRIPTION
       Estimate file space usage

OPTIONS
       --help Print help information.

       -a, --all
              write counts for all files, not just directories

       --apparent-size
              print apparent sizes, rather than disk usage although the
              apparent size is usually smaller, it may be larger due to holes
              in ('sparse') files, internal fragmentation, indirect blocks,
              and the like

       -B, --block-size <SIZE>
              scale sizes by SIZE before printing them. E.g., '-BM' prints
              sizes in units of 1,048,576 bytes. See SIZE format below.

       -b, --bytes
              equivalent to '--apparent-size --block-size=1'

       -c, --total
              produce a grand total

       -d, --max-depth <N>
              print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it
              is N or fewer levels below the command line argument;
              --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

       -h, --human-readable
              print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

       --inodes
              list inode usage information instead of block usage like
              --block-size=1K

       -k     like --block-size=1K

       -l, --count-links
              count sizes many times if hard linked

       -L, --dereference
              follow all symbolic links

       -D, --dereference-args
              follow only symlinks that are listed on the command line

       -P, --no-dereference
              don't follow any symbolic links (this is the default)

       -m     like --block-size=1M

       -0, --null
              end each output line with 0 byte rather than newline

       -S, --separate-dirs
              do not include size of subdirectories

       -s, --summarize
              display only a total for each argument

       --si   like -h, but use powers of 1000 not 1024

       -x, --one-file-system
              skip directories on different file systems

       -t, --threshold <SIZE>
              exclude entries smaller than SIZE if positive, or entries
              greater than SIZE if negative

       -v, --verbose
              verbose mode (option not present in GNU/Coreutils)

       --exclude <PATTERN>
              exclude files that match PATTERN

       -X, --exclude-from <FILE>
              exclude files that match any pattern in FILE

       --files0-from <FILE>
              summarize device usage of the NUL-terminated file names
              specified in file F; if F is -, then read names from standard
              input

       --time[=<WORD>...]
              show time of the last modification of any file in the directory,
              or any of its subdirectories. If WORD is given, show time as
              WORD instead of modification time: atime, access, use, ctime,
              status, birth or creation

              [possible values: atime, ctime, creation]

       --time-style <STYLE>
              show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso, iso, +FORMAT
              FORMAT is interpreted like 'date'

       -V, --version
              Print version

EXTRA
       Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from
       --block-size, and the DU_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE
       environment variables.  Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512
       if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).

       SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024).
       Units are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB,... (powers
       of 1000).

       PATTERN allows some advanced exclusions. For example, the following
       syntaxes are supported: ? will match only one character * will match
       zero or more characters {a,b} will match a or b
