3 "users to take into account"
4 string typestr="user_name"
8 This option may be given multiple times in which case all given
9 user names are considered admissible. See also --uid below.
14 "user id(s) to take into account"
15 string typestr="uid_spec"
18 An uid specifier may be a single uid, a range of uids,
19 or a comma-separated list of single uids or ranges.
25 Only consider uids greater or equal than 42:
28 Only consider uids between 23 and 42, inclusively:
31 Consider uids 23-42, 666-777 and 88:
32 --uid 23-42,666-777,88
34 If no --user option is given and also --uid option is not given
35 (the default), all users are taken into account.
45 Only print num lines of output. If negative (the default),
46 print all lines. This option is honored in all select modes
47 except global_summary (which outputs only one single line).
52 "only consider matching directories"
53 string typestr="regex"
56 Regular expression that must match the directory name for
57 the directory to be considered for the output of the query.
58 See regex(7) for details.
60 Depending on whether --print-base-dir is given, the absolute
61 directory name or only the part of the directory name below
62 the base directory is matched against \"regex\".
64 If this option is not given (the default) all directories
65 are taken into account.
67 If \"regex\" starts with '!', directories are matched against
68 the remaining part of \"regex\" and the sense of matching is
74 "use a customized header for listings/summaries"
75 string typestr="string"
78 This option can be used to print any string instead of the
79 default header line (which depends on the selected mode).
81 In user_list mode the header is a format string which allows
82 to include the uid and the user name in the header. See the
83 --format option for more details.
85 It is possible to set this to the empty string to suppress
86 the header completely. This is mostly useful to feed the
90 option "select-mode" m
91 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
92 "How to print the results of the query"
94 values="user_summary","user_list","global_summary","global_list"
95 default="user_summary"
98 user_summary: Print totals for each admissible uid.
99 user_list: Print a list for each admissible uid.
100 global_summary: Only print totals.
101 global_list: List of directories, regardless of owner.
106 "how to sort the user list or the global list"
108 values="size","file_count"
112 This option is ignored if select-mode is neither \"user_list\", nor
118 "file to write output to"
119 string typestr="<path>"
123 If empty, or not given, use stdout.
126 option "user-summary-sort" -
127 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
128 "how to sort the user-summary"
129 enum typestr="col_spec"
130 values="name","uid","dir_count","file_count","size"
134 It is enough to specify the first letter of the column specifier,
135 e.g. \"--user-summary-sort f\" sorts by file count.
138 option "print-base-dir" -
139 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
140 "whether to include the base-dir in the output"
143 If this flag is given, all directories printed are prefixed
144 with the base directory. The default is to print paths relative
150 "How to format the output"
151 string typestr="<format_string>"
155 A string that specifies how the output of the select query is
156 going to be formated. Depending on the chosen select-mode,
157 several conversion specifiers are available and a different
158 default value for this option applies.
160 adu knows four different types of directives: string, id,
161 count and size. These are explained in more detail below.
163 The general syntax for string and id directives is %(name:a:w)
164 where \"name\" is the name of the directive, \"a\" specifies
165 the alignment and \"w\" is the width specifier which allows
166 to give a field width.
168 The alignment specifier is a single character: Either \"l\",
169 \"r\", or \"c\" may be given to specify left, right and
170 centered alignment respectively. The with specifier is a
171 positive integer. Both \"a\" and \"w\" are optional.
173 A string directive supported by adu is \"dirname\" which is
174 substituted by the name of the directory. It is available
175 if either user_list or global_list mode was selected via
179 Print dirname without any padding:
183 Center dirname in a 20 chars wide field:
187 The other two types of directives, count and size, are used
188 for numbers. The syntax for these is %(name:a:w:u). The \"a\"
189 and the \"w\" specifier have the same meaning as for the string
190 and id directives. The additional \"u\" specifier selects a unit
191 in which the number that corresponds to the directive should
192 be formated. All three specifiers are optional.
194 Possible units are the characters of the set \" bkmgtBKMGT\"
195 specifying bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and
196 terabytes respectively. The difference between the lower and
197 the upper case variants is that the lower case specifiers
198 select 1024-based units while the upper case specifiers use
201 The whitespace character is like \"b\", but a space character
202 is printed instead of a unit.
204 Two more characters \"h\" and \"H\" (human-readable) are also
205 available that choose an appropriate unit depending on the
206 size of the number being printed.
208 An asterisk prepended to the unit specifier prevents the
209 unit from being printed. This is useful mainly for feeding
210 the output of adu to scripts that do not expect units.
212 In order to print a percent sign, use \"%%\". Moreover, adu
213 understands \"\\n\" and \"\\t\" and outputs a newline and a
214 tab character for these combinations respectively.
217 Print size in gigabytes right-aligned:
220 As before, but use 5 char wide field:
223 As before, but suppress trailing \"G\":
