# Dust
|
|
du + rust = dust. A rust alternative to du
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
* Download linux / mac binary from [Releases](https://github.com/bootandy/dust/releases)
|
|
* unzip file: tar -xvf _downloaded_file.tar.gz_
|
|
* move file to executable path: sudo mv dust /usr/local/bin/
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
Unlike du, dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust does not count file system blocks; it uses file sizes instead. Dust will print a maximum of 1 'Did not have permissions message'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dust will list the 15 biggest sub directories 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 sub directory will have its size shown in red
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Usage: dust <dir>
|
|
Usage: dust <dir> <another_dir> <and_more>
|
|
Usage: dust -s <dir> (apparent-size - shows the length of the file as opposed to the amount of disk space it uses)
|
|
Usage: dust -n 30 <dir> (Shows 30 directories not 15)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```

## Performance
|
|
dust is currently about 4 times slower than du.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives
|
|
* [NCDU](https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu)
|
|
* 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.
