Yes I can definitely see the need for that. However what you need is quite easily achieved with existing tools. For example: $ du -hbs * | sort -k1,1n | human.py --columns=1 --divisor=1000 336.2K msort-8.26.tar.bz2 442.0K unac-1.7.0.tar.gz 4.2M coreutils-5.1.1.tar.bz2 5.1M coreutils-5.97.tar.bz2 5.3M coreutils-6.0.tar.bz2 7.7M coreutils-6.2.tar.gz 15.2M glibc-2.4.tar.bz2 $ dutop 39% 14.5M ./glibc-2.4.tar.bz2 20% 7.3M ./coreutils-6.2.tar.gz 13% 5.0M ./coreutils-6.0.tar.bz2 13% 4.8M ./coreutils-5.97.tar.bz2 10% 4.0M ./coreutils-5.1.1.tar.bz2 Both dutop and human.py are available at: http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/ Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
