# Dust
|
||||
|
||||
du + rust = dust. Like du but more intuitive.
|
||||
|
||||
# Why
|
||||
|
||||
Because I want an easy way to see where my disk is being used.
|
||||
|
||||

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one 'Did not have permissions message'.
|
||||
|
||||
Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a '-d' flag or a '-h' flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.
|
||||
|
||||
The different colors on the bars: These represent the combined tree hierarchy & disk usage. The shades of grey are used to indicate which parent folder a subfolder belongs to. For instance, look at the above screenshot. `.steam` is a folder taking 44% of the space. From the `.steam` bar is a light grey line that goes up. All these folders are inside `.steam` so if you delete `.steam` all that stuff will be gone too.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Usage: dust
|
||||
Usage: dust <dir>
|
||||
Usage: dust <dir> <another_dir> <and_more>
|
||||
Usage: dust -p (full-path - Show fullpath of the subdirectories)
|
||||
Usage: dust -s (apparent-size - shows the length of the file as opposed to the amount of disk space it uses)
|
||||
Usage: dust -n 30 (Shows 30 directories instead of the default [default is terminal height])
|
||||
Usage: dust -d 3 (Shows 3 levels of subdirectories)
|
||||
Usage: dust -D (Show only directories (eg dust -D))
|
||||
Usage: dust -F (Show only files - finds your largest files)
|
||||
Usage: dust -r (reverse order of output)
|
||||
Usage: dust -H (si print sizes in powers of 1000 instead of 1024)
|
||||
Usage: dust -X ignore (ignore all files and directories with the name 'ignore')
|
||||
Usage: dust -x (Only show directories on the same filesystem)
|
||||
Usage: dust -b (Do not show percentages or draw ASCII bars)
|
||||
Usage: dust -B (--bars-on-right - Percent bars moved to right side of screen])
|
||||
Usage: dust -i (Do not show hidden files)
|
||||
Usage: dust -c (No colors [monochrome])
|
||||
Usage: dust -f (Count files instead of diskspace)
|
||||
Usage: dust -t (Group by filetype)
|
||||
Usage: dust -z 10M (min-size, Only include files larger than 10M)
|
||||
Usage: dust -e regex (Only include files matching this regex (eg dust -e "\.png$" would match png files))
|
||||
Usage: dust -v regex (Exclude files matching this regex (eg dust -v "\.png$" would ignore png files))
|
||||
Usage: dust -L (dereference-links - Treat sym links as directories and go into them)
|
||||
Usage: dust -P (Disable the progress indicator)
|
||||
Usage: dust -R (For screen readers. Removes bars/symbols. Adds new column: depth level. (May want to use -p for full path too))
|
||||
Usage: dust --skip-total (No total row will be displayed)
|
||||
Usage: dust -z 4000000 (Exclude files below size 4MB)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Config file
|
||||
|
||||
Dust has a config file where the above options can be set.
|
||||
Either: `~/.config/dust/config.toml` or `~/.dust.toml`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cat ~/.config/dust/config.toml
|
||||
reverse=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
- [NCDU](https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu)
|
||||
- [dutree](https://github.com/nachoparker/dutree)
|
||||
- [dua](https://github.com/Byron/dua-cli/)
|
||||
- [pdu](https://github.com/KSXGitHub/parallel-disk-usage)
|
||||
- [dirstat-rs](https://github.com/scullionw/dirstat-rs)
|
||||
- du -d 1 -h | sort -h
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Apparent-size is calculated slightly differently in dust to gdu. In dust each hard link is counted as using file_length space. In gdu only the first entry is counted.
