Human-friendly summary of disk usage.
Project description
This software computes an estimate of the file disk usage for files and directories, similarly to the UNIX program ‘du’. The result is then displayed in a human friendly format.
It includes the following features:
a progress bar of each item for quick visual inspection
percentage information (precision can be set)
the size of each item in the specified units
support for SI, IEC and UNIX (‘du’) units
maximum depth (of the displayed items) can be specified
can filter results to display only directories
can filter results to hide hidden files (starting with ‘.’)
can output results ending with ‘0’ instead of newlines (useful for parsing)
can sort results by name or by size
Note
Although the software is substantially ready, the packaging is still experimental (e.g. the license seems to be missing). For a better experience it is recommended to link ‘hdu.py’ to ‘hdu’ in your (local?) bin directory (until I find a way of adding that to the installation). If you have any issues or suggestion, please contact me at <rick@metere.it>
