The duf
command is a disk usage utility tool that helps you determine the disk space usage of directories and files in a more human-readable format.
The command duf
${path-to-directory1} ${path-to-directory2} ---is an example of how to use the
duf` command to get disk usage information for multiple directories.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
duf
: Invokes theduf
command.${path-to-directory1} ${path-to-directory2} ---
: Specifies one or more directories for which you want to get disk usage information. You need to replace${path-to-directory1}
and${path-to-directory2}
with the actual paths to the directories you want to check. The---
at the end is used to indicate the end of the list of directories. If you have additional directories, you would add them after the---
separator.
For example, if you want to get disk usage information for the directories /home/user/documents
and /home/user/pictures
, you would use the command as follows:
duf /home/user/documents /home/user/pictures ---
The output of the command will display the disk usage information for each specified directory in a human-readable format, showing the total size, disk usage percentage, and the number of files and directories within each directory.
