duc: List all files and directories under /usr/local using treeview recursively.
$ duc ls -Fg -R ${-usr-local}
try on your machine

The command "duc ls -Fg -R ${-usr-local}" has the following components:

  • "duc" is the name of the command being executed. It is likely referring to the "Disk Usage" tool, which is used to analyze and display disk usage statistics.

  • "ls" is an argument or option provided to the "duc" command. It instructs the command to list the specified directories or files.

  • "-Fg" are additional arguments or options provided to the "duc ls" command:

    • "-F" option displays file types using appended characters, such as a slash '/' for directories.
    • "-g" option displays the output in a human-readable format, using appropriate units (e.g., kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes).
  • "-R" is an argument or option provided to the "duc ls" command. It stands for "recursive" and tells the command to list directories and files recursively, i.e., including all subdirectories.

  • "${-usr-local}" seems to be a shell variable or parameter being used in the command. The exact meaning and value of this variable would depend on the context in which the command is being run.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
