  \-----------------------( [ 9 ] - Back to main menu )-----------------------/

    There are several different sorting methods and such which you can use to
    view your disk usage.  Please type the number (1-8) which corresponds to
    the way you want to view the report, then hit enter.  Choose option 9 to
    return to the main menu.

What'll it be, John? --> 3

This is the disk usage menu. The disk usage report will recursively travel through all of your subdirectories, and display the amount of space consumed by each directory (including all of the files in that directory). You can have the report show all of your files and directories, or just the directories. You can view this report sorted by file name or by file size, and any report can be viewed in either ascending or descending order.

As you can see from the menu above, options 1 through 4 will only show the directories; options 5 through 8 will show all files. Simply type in the number corresponding to the report you'd like, and hit enter. The more files and directories you have, the longer it will take to generate the report. For a typical home directory, it will probably take a few seconds.

This is an example of what the report looks like. Some brief information about how to move around in the report is printed before and after the disk usage data. To move up and down one line at a time, use your up and down arrow keys. The space bar will take you down one page at a time. The 'b' key (back) will take you up one page. To exit the report and return to the disk usage menu, type 'q'. The above report is an example of one that is showing only directories, sorted by size, in ascending order.
