45.Op Fl a | Fl s
46.Op Fl ckmrx
47.Op Ar file ...
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument
52and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory
53argument.
54If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in
55the current directory is displayed.
56.Pp
57The options are as follows:
58.Bl -tag -width Ds
59.It Fl H
60Symbolic links on the command line are followed.
61(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
62.It Fl L
63All symbolic links are followed.
64.It Fl P
65No symbolic links are followed.
66.It Fl a
67Display an entry for each file in the file hierarchy.
68.It Fl k
69By default,
70.Nm
71displays the number of blocks as returned by the
72.Xr stat  2
73system call, i.e. 512-byte blocks.
74If the
75.Fl k
76flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of kilobyte
77(1024 bytes) blocks. Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up.
78.It Fl m
79If the
80.Fl m
81flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of megabyte
82(1024*1024 bytes) blocks.
83.It Fl c
84Display the grand total after all the arguments have been processed.
85.It Fl r
86Generate warning messages about directories that cannot be read.
87This is the default behaviour.
88.It Fl s
89Display only the grand total for the specified files.
90.It Fl x
91Filesystem mount points are not traversed.
92.El
93.Pp
94.Nm
95counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they
96reference unless the
97.Fl H
98or
99.Fl L
100option is specified.
101If either the
102.Fl H
103or
104.Fl L
105options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are
106followed is not counted or displayed.
107The
108.Fl H ,
109.Fl L
110and
111.Fl P
112options override each other and the command's actions are determined
113by the last one specified.
114.Pp
115Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single
116time per
117.Nm
118execution.
119.Sh ENVIRONMENT
120.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
121.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
122If the environment variable
123.Ev BLOCKSIZE
124is set, and the
125.Fl k
126and
127.Fl m
128options are not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that
129size block.
