wc -c(bytes) doesn't seem to reliably read the number
of bytes in a file.
I was wanting to find out what the largest data-source
files in '/proc' and '/sys' (didn't get around to trying
/sys, since all the files under /proc/sys return 0 bytes.
Note -- "wc -l" doesn't return '0' on the /proc/sys files.
As root:
# cd /proc
# find -H [^0-9]* -name self -prune -o -name thread-self -prune -o -type
f ! -name kmsg ! -name kcore ! -name kpagecount ! -name kpageflags
-print0|wc -c --files0-from=- |sort -n
