I would like to request a feature to be added to the 'du' command:
a command line switch to sort output by directory name or by size of
directory
option to sort by size... wow, that would be really nice.
So nice I wrote this script to do it...
du -B 1 "$@" | awk '{printf "%012i %s\n", $1, $2}' | sort | awk '
{
if ( $1 > 0x3F000000 )
printf "%6.1fG ", $1 / 0x40000000 ;
else if ( $1 > 0xF0000 )
printf "%6.1fM ", $1 / 0x100000 ;
else if ( $1 > 0x300 )
printf "%6.1fK ", $1 / 0x400 ;
else
printf "%6i ", $1 ;
$1="" ;
print $0 ;
}'
...but having 'du' do it would be so much nicer.
