According to Juhapekka Tolvanen on 12/30/2009 4:35 PM:
I wanted to do this: Give sizes of each files and directories located
in $PWD in human-readable-format AND sort output according to sizes of
those files and directories.
What's wrong with:
du -sh0 * | sort -hz | tr '\0' '\n'
besides needing coreutils 7.5 or newer?
What if size of one directory is rounded UP to 1M and size of other
directory is rounded DOWN to 1M? How sort-command can know know, which
one is bigger? I am sure, that sorting must be done according to size
in bytes, not according to size of human-readable units.
Okay. What is wrong with:
du -B 1 -s -0 * \
| sort -nz \
| awk -v RS='\0' '{print $2}' \
| xargs -d '\0' du -sh
?
It does not work for me:
Meh, guess I should try it. Should be:
du -B 1 -s -0 * \
| sort -nz \
| awk -v RS='\0' '{printf "%s\0", $2}' \
| xargs -0 du -sh
But that doesn't work when files have spaces in them. (I took the '$2'
from your original script, btw.)
You'd do better to replace the bits after 'sort' with:
awk -v RS='\0' '{
if ( $1> 0x3F000000 )
printf "%6.1fG\t", $1 / 0x40000000 ;
else if ( $1> 0xF0000 )
printf "%6.1fM\t", $1 / 0x100000 ;
else if ( $1> 0x300 )
printf "%6.1fK\t", $1 / 0x400 ;
else
printf "%6i\t", $1 ;
$1="" ;
print $0 ;
}'
This should output the file names without any sort of mangling (I
think), but even if it does, it's just output at this stage; you aren't
trying to re-stat the files, so you won't get errors even if mangling
occurs.
How that awk-snippet is actually used? Can you provide it as a
shell-script-file?
You pipe 'du's output into it, i.e. 'du <args> | sort -nz | <snippet>'.
The attached script acts like 'du -h' with sorted output; some arguments
might mess it up but generally you can pass other 'du' arguments to it
(and of course file names).
