51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
55and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
56argument.
57If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
58the current directory is displayed.
59If the
60.Fl k
61flag is specified, the number of 1024-byte
62blocks used by the file is displayed, otherwise
63.Xr getbsize 3
64is used to determine the preferred block size.
65Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
66.Pp
67The options are as follows:
68.Bl -tag -width indent
69.It Fl H
70Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file
71hierarchies are not followed.
72.It Fl L
73Symbolic links on the command line and in file hierarchies are followed.
74.It Fl I Ar mask
75Ignore files and directories matching the specified
76.Ar mask .
77.It Fl P
78No symbolic links are followed.
79This is the default.
80.It Fl a
81Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
82.It Fl h
83"Human-readable" output.  Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte,
84Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte
85.It Fl r
86Generate messages about directories that cannot be read, files
87that cannot be opened, and so on.  This is the default case.
88This option exists solely for conformance with
89.St -xpg4 .
90.It Fl s
91Display an entry for each specified file.
92(Equivalent to
93.Fl d Li 0 )
94.It Fl d Ar depth
95Display an entry for all files and directories
96.Ar depth
97directories deep.
98.It Fl c
99Display a grand total.
100.It Fl k
101Display block counts in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks.
102.It Fl x
103File system mount points are not traversed.
104.El
105.Pp
106The
107.Nm
108utility counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
109reference unless the
110.Fl H
111or
112.Fl L
113option is specified.
114If either the
115.Fl H
116or
117.Fl L
118options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
119followed is not counted or displayed.
120.Pp
121Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
122time per
123.Nm
124execution.
125.Sh ENVIRONMENT
126.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
127.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
128If the environment variable
129.Ev BLOCKSIZE
130is set, and the
131.Fl k
132option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
133size block.
134If
135.Ev BLOCKSIZE
136is not set, and the
137.Fl k
138option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks.
