47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
51and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
52argument.
53If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
54the current directory is displayed.
55If the
56.Fl k
57flag is specified, the number of 1024-byte
58blocks used by the file is displayed, otherwise
59.Xr getbsize 3
60is used to determine the preferred block size.
61Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
62.Pp
63The options are as follows:
64.Bl -tag -width indent
65.It Fl H
66Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file
67hierarchies are not followed.
68.It Fl L
69Symbolic links on the command line and in file hierarchies are followed.
70.It Fl I Ar mask
71Ignore files and directories matching the specified
72.Ar mask .
73.It Fl P
74No symbolic links are followed.
75This is the default.
76.It Fl a
77Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
78.It Fl h
79"Human-readable" output.  Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte,
80Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte
81.It Fl r
82Generate messages about directories that cannot be read, files
83that cannot be opened, and so on.  This is the default case.
84This option exists solely for conformance with
85.St -xpg4 .
86.It Fl s
87Display an entry for each specified file.
88(Equivalent to
89.Fl d Li 0 )
90.It Fl d Ar depth
91Display an entry for all files and directories
92.Ar depth
93directories deep.
94.It Fl c
95Display a grand total.
96.It Fl k
97Display block counts in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks.
98.It Fl x
99File system mount points are not traversed.
100.El
101.Pp
102The
103.Nm
104utility counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
105reference unless the
106.Fl H
107or
108.Fl L
109option is specified.
110If either the
111.Fl H
112or
113.Fl L
114options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
115followed is not counted or displayed.
116.Pp
117Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
118time per
119.Nm
120execution.
121.Sh ENVIRONMENT
122.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
123.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
124If the environment variable
125.Ev BLOCKSIZE
126is set, and the
127.Fl k
128option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
129size block.
130If
131.Ev BLOCKSIZE
132is not set, and the
133.Fl k
134option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks.
