How to Find Directory or File Size - Disk Usage
1) Disk Usage(DU) command can be used to know sizes of directories,sub-directories and files.
2) This command works in recursive manner.
Default usage: du -h directory.
i) Here h option is for displaying sizes in human readable format.
ii) Last line displays, total size of directory.
iii) This command only considers sub directories by default.
3) Option -a can be used to include files in the directory.
4) Option -s can be used to know size of directory.
'S' stands for summary
5) --time can be used for sorting based on modification date.
6) --exclude="*.xml" can be used for excluding specific type of files while computing size of directory.
