In C-Shell, how can I get the same output as du -sh ./*
but without listing the files in the root dir, i.e. just a list of subdirectories in ./ and the sizes of all their contents?

Add a trailing slash, like:
du -sh ./*/

Note: if the -s
is dropped, it becomes recursive. Note: piping to sort -h
will sort by the human-readable size (-h
flag was introduced in GNU sort
in 2009).

Duplicate answer as above just adding sort and flag to display size in a human-readable format
du -sh */ | sort -hr
Outputs:
44G workspace/
24G Downloads/
6.2G Videos/
1.5G Pictures/
189M Music/
12M Documents/
8.0K Postman/
8.0K Desktop/
You may also like to add a threshold
du -sh */ -t 100M | sort -hr
Outputs:
44G workspace/
24G Downloads/
6.2G Videos/
1.5G Pictures/
189M Music/

I don't get it. I tried
sh
andcsh
and except for ordering the output is the same. (I have to admit that I am actually usingbash
andtcsh
.) – Shi – 2011-08-12T22:02:10.057@Shi I should clarify: the comment about C-Shell is just to specify what I'm using. I'm seeking another command or options that will give me the same result, but without listing the sizes of the files in ./ – foglerit – 2011-08-12T22:13:43.083
