duc Command Examples

A collection of tools for indexing, inspecting, and visualizing disk usage. Duc maintains a database of accumulated sizes of directories of the file system, allowing queries in this database, or creating fancy graphs to show where data is. More information: http://duc.zevv.nl.

• Index the /usr directory, writing to the default database location ~/.duc.db:

duc index {{/usr}}

• List all files and directories under /usr/local, showing relative file sizes in a [g]raph:

duc ls -Fg {{/usr/local}}

• List all files and directories under /usr/local using treeview recursively:

duc ls -Fg -R {{/usr/local}}

• Start the graphical interface to explore the file system using sunburst graphs:

duc gui {{/usr}}

• Run the ncurses console interface to explore the file system:

duc ui {{/usr}}

• Dump database info:

duc info
