Summarize disk usage of each FILE, recursively for

- --block-size=SIZE
- use SIZE-byte blocks
- -b, --bytes
- print size in bytes
- -c, --total
- produce a grand total
- -D, --dereference-args
- dereference PATHs when symbolic link
- -h, --human-readable
- print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
- -H, --si
- likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
- -k, --kilobytes
- like --block-size=1024
- -l, --count-links
- count sizes many times if hard li nked
- -L, --dereference
- dereference all symbolic links
- -m, --megabytes
- like --block-size=1048576
- -S, --separate-dirs
- do not include size of subdirectories
- -s, --summarize
- display only a total for each argument
- -x, --one-file-system
- skip directories on different filesystems
- -X FILE, --exclude-from=FILE
- Exclude files that match any pattern in FILE.
- --exclude=PAT
- Exclude files that match PAT.
- --max-depth=N
- print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it is N or fewer levels below the command line argument; --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize
