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.
59.Pp
60The options are as follows:
61.Bl -tag -width indent
62.It Fl H
63Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file
64hierarchies are not followed.
65.It Fl L
66Symbolic links on the command line and in file hierarchies are followed.
67.It Fl I Ar mask
68Ignore files and directories matching the specified
69.Ar mask .
70.It Fl P
71No symbolic links are followed.
72This is the default.
73.It Fl a
74Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
75.It Fl h
76"Human-readable" output.
77Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte,
78Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte.
79.It Fl r
80Generate messages about directories that cannot be read, files
81that cannot be opened, and so on.
82This is the default case.
83This option exists solely for conformance with
84.St -xpg4 .
85.It Fl s
86Display an entry for each specified file.
87(Equivalent to
88.Fl d Li 0 )
89.It Fl d Ar depth
90Display an entry for all files and directories
91.Ar depth
92directories deep.
93.It Fl c
94Display a grand total.
95.It Fl k
96Display block counts in 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks.
97.It Fl m
98Display block counts in 1048576-byte (1-Mbyte) blocks.
99.It Fl n
100Ignore files and directories with user
101.Dq nodump

103.Pq Dv UF_NODUMP
104set.
105.It Fl x
106File system mount points are not traversed.
107.El
108.Pp
109The
110.Nm
111utility counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
112reference unless the
113.Fl H
114or
115.Fl L
116option is specified.
117If either the
118.Fl H
119or
120.Fl L
121options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
122followed is not counted or displayed.
123.Pp
124Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
125time per
126.Nm
127execution.

129.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
130.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
131If the environment variable
132.Ev BLOCKSIZE
133is set, and the
134.Fl k
135option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
136size block.
137If
138.Ev BLOCKSIZE
139is not set, and the
140.Fl k
141option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks.
