[Linux] du-View folder size-and sort by size

reference:http://blog.csdn.net/jiaobuchong/article/details/50272761#

One day, I want to check the use of computer hard disk, as a command control, nonsense, start it:

Use the DF command to view the current disk usage:

[Email protected]:~$ df-lh  Filesystem      Size  used Avail use% mounted on  /dev/sda3        18G  5.7G   11G  35%/  udev            2.7G  4.0K  2.7G   1%/dev  tmpfs           553M  916K  552M   1%/run  none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0%/run/lock  None            2.7G  488K  2.7G   1%/run/shm  /dev/sda2       946M  128M  754M  15%/boot  /dev/sda1        93G   87G  5.5G  

The following du command is on the pitch:

[Email protected]:~$ pwd  /home/jack  [email protected]:~$ du-sh   1.9G    .  [Email protected]:~$ cd  . [Email protected]:/home$ du-sh jack/  1.9G    jack/  [email protected]:/home$  du-h--max-depth=0 jack/ 1.9G    jack/  

You can see the same results from the top,

-S,--summarize display only a totals for each argument,-s The function of this parameter is to display only the total, that is, the size of the current folder.

[Email protected]:~$ du-sh *  170M    Desktop  452K    Documents  161M    Downloads  12K Examples.desktop  833M    installed-software  284K    learngit  4.0K    Music  4.7M    Pictures  3.2M    program_pratice  4.0K    public  112K    session  4.0K    Templates  4.0K    Videos  

* The size of all the files in the current directory can be listed. Do you want to sort the listed files in a large-to-small way?

[Email protected]:~$ du-sh * | Sort-nr  833M    installed-software  452K    Documents  284K    learngit  170M    Desktop  161M    Downloads  112K    session  12K examples.desktop  4.7M    Pictures  4.0K    Videos  4.0K    Templates  4.0K    public  4.0K    Music  3.2M    

Just find the sort to do a favor. Oh! This sort of is not normal, all because of the reason of the-h parameter,

[Email protected]:~$ du-s * | Sort-nr   852756  installed-software  173868  Desktop  164768  Downloads  4724    Pictures  3236    program_pratice  452 Documents  284 learngit  Examples.desktop  4   Videos  4   Templates  4   public  4   Music  

This is the normal sort.

Du-s * | Sort-nr | Head selects the 10 rows in the front,

Du-s * | Sort-nr | Tail the 10 rows in the back.
