Note that the system block usage is usually greater than the actual size of the file. If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in the current directory is displayed. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl a Display an entry for each file in the file hierarchy. .It Fl c Display the grand total after all the arguments have been processed. .It Fl H Symbolic links on the command line are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.) .It Fl h Display numbers in a human readable form. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to four or less. This overrides the .Fl k option. .It Fl k By default, .Nm displays the number of blocks as returned by the .Xr stat 2 system call, i.e., 512-byte blocks. If the .Fl k flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of 1024-byte blocks. Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up. .It Fl L All symbolic links are followed. .It Fl P No symbolic links are followed. .It Fl r Generate messages about directories that cannot be read, files that cannot be opened, and so on. This is the default. .It Fl s Display only the grand total for the specified files. .It Fl x File system mount points are not traversed. .El .Pp .Nm counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they reference unless the .Fl H or .Fl L option is specified. If either the .Fl H or .Fl L options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are followed is not counted or displayed. The .Fl H , .Fl L , and .Fl P options override each other and the command's actions are determined by the last one specified. .Pp Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single time per .Nm execution. .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE .It Ev BLOCKSIZE Block counts will be displayed in units of this size block, unless the .Fl k or .Fl h option is specified. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr df 1 , .Xr fts 3 , .Xr symlink 7 , .Xr quot 8 .Sh STANDARDS The .Nm utility is compliant with the .St -p1003.1-2004 specification. .Pp The flags .Op Fl chPr are extensions to that specification. .Pp The flag .Op Fl r exists solely for conformance with .St -xpg4 . .Sh HISTORY A .Nm command appeared in .At v3 .
