duc ls return only file size or number of files

[chrisdane]

Hi

I would like to have an option that duc ls returns the sizes (or number of files) only, without the corresponding directory names.

Thanks for this great software! Chris

So let me be sure I understand you.

If you have 10 files, 1 through 10 in the directory foo, along with the directories foo/a ... foo/z, which have a mix of files and directories on them, you want to only report on the files in the directory foo and how much space they take?

At that point, its really simpler to just do: 'ls -s -F

| sort -n' to get back useful data. The entire goal of duc is to make finding where in the filesystem the space is taken up, not in a single directory.

You're welcome, Zevv is the master though, I'm just the helper.

Hi John

Your command suggestion does not what I have in mind:

duc ls path/
103.3T subpath1
duc ls -b path/
113631019048960 subpath1
duc ls -wb path/
113631019048960

with e.g. option w ('without') for showing the size only.

Ah... so how about:

duc ls -b path/ | awk '{print $1}'
