README for go-du

What is this?

go-du is an opionated re-implementation of du(1):

• it traverses all directories in parallel: bounded by the concurrency offered by the CPU
• it optionally prints all files in dirs/subdirs
• it prints a total
• it sorts the output by largest-size before printing

How do I build it?

With Go 1.5 and later:

git clone https://github.com/opencoff/go-du
cd go-du
make

The binary will be in ./bin/$HOSTOS-$ARCH/godu. where $HOSTOS is the host OS where you are building (e.g., openbsd) and $ARCH is the CPU architecture (e.g., amd64).

How do I use it?

Examples:

# traverse dirs on command line
./bin/linux-amd64/godu -h *

# print all files
./bin/linux-amd64/godu -h -a *
