diskonaut: Start diskonaut in a specific directory.

diskonaut

$ diskonaut ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "diskonaut ${path-to-directory}" is used to analyze the disk space usage of a specific directory on your computer.

Here is a breakdown of each component:

"diskonaut": This is the name of the program or command-line tool you are using. "diskonaut" is a disk space analyzer that helps visualize where your disk space is being used.
"${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to analyze. For example, if you want to analyze the disk space usage of the "/home/user/Documents" directory, you would replace "${path-to-directory}" with "/home/user/Documents".

When you run the command with the correct path to the directory, diskonaut will scan the specified directory along with its subdirectories and present the disk space usage in a graphical, interactive interface. It allows you to explore the directories and files, showing a clear visualization of which directories/files are consuming the most space. This can help you identify large files or unnecessary files/folders, making it easier to free up disk space if needed.
