Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bootandy/dust/issues/379

It's a bit strange that dust seems to limit the output to whatever can fit on the terminal, without even printing the rest. So I can only see the subtotal sizes for a subset of directories in the directory I want to analyse.

Is there any way to get the output onto a pager, or to simply print it, however long it is?

@bootandy commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2024):

It's not meant to output everything - that's what du is for.

If you want to replicate that behaviour I recommend using the '-d' flag. so dust -d 9 - it will go 9 levels deep I doubt you'd want more, but if you do just increase the number.
