Du-sh filename (In fact, we often use du-sh * to display all the files and their sizes in the current directory, if you want to sort them and add them later | SORT-N)

DU-SM * | Sort-n//Statistics The current directory size and sort by size

Du-sk * | Sort-n

Du-sk * | grep filename//View the size of a folder

du-m | Cut-d "/"-F 2//See text before second/character

See how many files are in this folder/*/*/* how many files are there?

Alternatively, you can open the Nautilus Window (folder preferences), click "Edit"-"preferences", switch to "display" tab, change "icon title" under the tree list content is "size, modified date, type." The setting takes effect immediately. The file size is now displayed below the file icon.
