ncdu: Save results to a file.

ncdu

$ ncdu -o ${filename}

try on your machine

The command ncdu -o ${filename} is used to run the Ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) program with a specified output file name.

Ncdu is a command-line tool used to analyze disk usage on a filesystem. It provides a visual representation of disk usage in a terminal interface. The tool shows directories and files, sorted by their disk usage, enabling users to identify the largest files and directories that are consuming disk space.

The option -o is used to specify the output file where the results of the disk usage analysis will be saved. The ${filename} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name of the output file. For example, if you want to save the results in a file called "disk_usage.txt", the command would be ncdu -o disk_usage.txt.

After running the command, Ncdu will perform the disk usage analysis and save the results in the specified output file for further reference or analysis.
