The Linux du command also looks at the usage space, but unlike the DF command, the Linux du command is a view of the space used by files and directory disks, or some difference from the DF command.
What's the difference between Du/bin and Du-s/bin?
-S is summary, showing the sum of space occupied by the directory
The difference is that there is a subdirectory under/bin because the/bin has no subdirectories so the results are the same, such as
DU/ETC will see a lot of output
Du-s/etc has only one line of output
1. Command format:
du [Options] [file]
2. Command function:
Displays the disk usage space for each file and directory.
3. Command parameters:
A or-all displays the size of individual files in the directory.
-B or-bytes displays the directory or file size in bytes.
-C or--total displays the sum of all directories or files in addition to the size of individual directories or files.
-K or--kilobytes is output in kilobytes (1024bytes).
-M or--megabytes is output in MB.
-S or--summarize only displays totals, listing only the last plus total value.
-H or--human-readable to k,m,g to improve the readability of the information.
-X or--one-file-xystem the file system at the start of the process, and if you encounter a different file system directory, skip.
-l< the source file size of the symbolic link specified in the symbol link > or--dereference< symbol link > Display option.
When-S or--separate-dirs displays the size of an individual directory, it does not contain the size of its subdirectories.
-x< files > or--exclude-from=< files > specify directories or files in < file >.
--exclude=< directory or File > skips the specified directory or file.
-D or--dereference-args displays the source file size for the specified symbolic link.
The-H or--si is the same as the-h parameter, but K,m,g is a unit of conversion in 1000.
-L or--count-links a file that duplicates the hardware link.
