The command "dua aggregate" is used with the DUA (Disk Usage Analyzer) tool in Linux. "Dua" is a command-line tool that helps in analyzing and visualizing disk usage to identify space-consuming files and directories.

The "dua aggregate" command is used to perform a disk usage analysis and aggregate the results. It scans the specified directory (or the current directory if no directory is provided) and calculates the disk usage size of all the files and directories within it. The command then presents a summary of the total disk usage along with a breakdown of usage by file or directory.

By using "dua aggregate," you can quickly see which files or directories are consuming significant amounts of disk space and take appropriate actions such as deleting unnecessary files or moving them to another location to free up space.
