 adu \- advanced disk usage
+[EXAMPLES]
+
+.PP
+The following example creates a database containing the disk usage
+patterns of the /var directory:
+.IP
+	$ adu --create --database-dir /root/adu-var --base-dir /var
+.PP
+Here's a simple query that uses the newly created database to print
+the user-summary:
+.IP
+	$ adu --select --database-dir /root/adu-var
+.PP
+To print the one-line global summary instead, use
+.IP
+	$ adu --select --database-dir /root/adu-var --select-options '--select-mode global_summary'
+.PP
+To sort the user summary by file count rather than by file size, run
+.IP
+	$ adu --select --database-dir /root/adu-var --select-options '--list-sort=file_count'
+.PP
+The command below prints the five largest directories of the users root and
+mysql:
+.IP
+	$ adu --select --database-dir /root/adu-var --select-options '--select-mode user_list --user root --user mysql --limit 5'
+.PP
+The same, using short options:
+.IP
+	$ adu -Sd /root/adu-var -s '-m user_list -u root -u mysql -l 5'
+.PP
+Again the same, but omitting /var/cache:
+.IP
+	$ adu -Sd /root/adu-var -s '-m user_list -u root -u mysql -l 5 -p !^cache/'
+.PP
+A simple script for interactive mode:
+
+.EX
+	set -m user_list
+	set -u root
+	set -o file-list.root
+	run
+	reset
+	set -m user_list
+	set -u mysql
+	set -o file-list.mysql
+	run
+.EE
+.PP
+Run adu in interactive mode with the above script (adu-script.txt):
+.IP
+	$ adu -Id /root/adu-var < adu-script.txt
+
