type "man du" (no quotes) at the unix command line.
du(1) du(1)
NAME
du - summarize disk usage
SYNOPSIS
du [-a|-s] [-bkrx] [-t type] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
The du command gives the number of 512-byte blocks allocated for all
files and (recursively) directories within each directory and file
specified by the name operands. The block count includes the indirect
blocks of the file. A file with two or more links is counted only
once. If name is missing, the current working directory is used.
By default, du generates an entry only for the name operands and each
directory contained within those hierarchies.
Options
The du command recognizes the following options:
-a Print entries for each file encountered in the
directory hierarchies in addition to the normal
output.
-b For each name operand that is a directory for
which file system swap has been enabled, print the
number of blocks the swap system is currently
using.
