compsize: Show raw byte counts instead of human-readable sizes.
$ sudo compsize --bytes ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
This command is used to determine the disk usage of a file or directory using the compsize utility. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
sudo: It is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows a user with proper privileges to execute a command as the superuser or another user.compsize: It is a command-line tool used to display the disk usage of compressed files, directories, or filesystems.--bytes: This option specifies that the output should be displayed in bytes.${filename_or_directory}: This is a placeholder representing the actual file or directory for which you want to determine the disk usage. You need to replace it with the path to the desired file or directory.
To use this command, you would need to open a terminal or command prompt, run the command with the appropriate filename or directory, and then it will display the disk usage in bytes. Additionally, the use of sudo often requires administrator privileges to access certain files or directories.
