du(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities du(1)
______________________________________________________________________
NAME
du -- summarize file space usage
SYNOPSIS
du [-a|-s [-ktx] [pathname ...]
DESCRIPTION
Note: The MPE/iX implementation of this utility does not function
exactly as this man page describes. For details, see the MPE/iX
NOTES section at the end of this man page.
du reports the amount of file space used by the files indicated
by the given pathnames. If pathname is a directory, du reports
the total amount of file space used by all files in that direc-
tory and in each subdirectory in its hierarchy. If you do not
specify any pathname, du assumes the current directory. Files
with multiple links are only counted once. On systems supporting
symbolic links, only the disk space used by the symbolic link is
counted.
du measures file space in 512-byte units.
Options
du accepts the following options:
-a generates a report for all files in pathname.
-k displays file sizes in 1024-byte (1K) units.
-s does not display file size totals for subdirectories.
-t displays the total amount of space used by all pathnames
examined.
-x displays file sizes for only those files contained on the
same device as pathname.
DIAGNOSTICS
Possible exit status values are:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.

The -t option is an extension to the POSIX standard.
MPE/iX NOTES
This release of MPE/iX does not provide the lstat() API. As a
result, this command cannot return information on the link
itself. It attempts to determine when a symbolic link has been
referenced, but can only return the information on the target of
the link, rather than the link itself.
For more information on how the current MPE/iX implementation may
affect the operation of this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX
Implementation Considerations.
