Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bootandy/dust/issues/541

I scan disks with TB size. I want to send Ctrl-C to dust when it scans nearly half of the disk. I expect it to print out what it has scanned. But unfortunately, it prints nothing.

So I wonder is it possible for dust to report the temporary result after receiving some signals? The partial result is also useful in clean up of disk.

dust is really an awesome disk usage analyzer with good visualization. Thanks for your effort.

Hmm, technically it would be possible to do. But I think it might result in confusion, I don't want to print data that isn't 'right'. I'd rather users specified a subdirectory with '-D' instead.
