# DiskUsage
*DiskUsage command for listing files, folders and more and get how much space they are using*
**DiskUsage** is a simple but powerful program to retrieve *information about used space* in your disk. It can list **files**, **folders** and more to give you the view you need of your disk.
And it *does not need* any other third party program: it is using **basic Unix commands** with specific sintax (you can see what is doing by [clicking here](https://github.com/Javinator9889/DiskUsage/blob/master/dusage#L43)
## How to install
**NOTICE THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL ONLY WORK ON UNIX BASED SYSTEMS**
1. Download *autorun.sh* file to your system
[](https://goo.gl/LDAL3Q) **(Right click - Save link as...)**
### Directly from Terminal (if you are root)
```bash
su
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
wget https://goo.gl/LDAL3Q && mv LDAL3Q autorun.sh && chmod +x autorun.sh #You can get this file without root, it is for simplifying
./autorun.sh
```
### See available options for using this program
```bash
./autorun.sh -h
```
### Manually installation
If **you do not have sudo or root**, there is an available method for you to use *DiskUsage*:
```bash
cd
wget https://goo.gl/LDAL3Q && mv LDAL3Q autorun.sh && chmod +x autorun.sh
./autorun.sh -c
export PATH=$PATH:/home/$USER/DiskUsage
```
If everything is OK, if you run ```which dusage``` your *home folder* and execution file shoudl appear
------------------
## How to use
### Invoke command
```bash
dusage
```
This option will display usage in current folder, with *human readable format*. Also, you can use ```dusage -h``` or ```dusage --help``` to get available commands and options
### Different arguments
+ **-r | --reverse**: by *default*, this program shows files in ascending order: **lower files** are at top and **bigger files** at bottom. With this option enabled, you can list files in *reverse order* (**bigger files** at top, **lower files** at bottom)
```bash
dusage -r
```
+ **-d | --directory** *+ PATH*: if you use **dusage** with no args, it will display current folder usage. If you want to see **how much space is used in another folder/drive**, just add the option *-d* followed by dir to be checked
```bash
dusage -d /var
Showing space usage in: /var
+------+-----------+
| Size | Directory |
+------+-----------+
0 /var/lock
0 /var/run
4,0K /var/local
4,0K /var/opt
16K /var/lost+found
16K /var/tmp
52K /var/spool
68K /var/mail
11M /var/backups
24M /var/log
346M /var/www
444M /var/lib
991M /var/cache
```
+ **-f | --file**: basically, instead of showing *folders*, **dusage** will show *what files are using space* in current dir
```bash
dusage -f
```
+ **-tos | --Terms**: displays *Terms of Service* and usage instructions of this program. Must have a look and **accept them**
**Finally**, it is also possible to combine those commands: *you can list* a directory showing **files** in **reverse order**; current dir **in reverse order** and **files**, etc. Just keep in mind some combinations are not possible, like ```dusage -f -h``` or *giving an non-existing path* ```dusage -d /invented/dir/or/path```.
And program is **always** giving a warning that says: *It is higly recommended to run this program as sudo or SuperUser*. This is for avoiding this problem:
