Just a note to myself, as I always have a hard time understanding the find
manpages. To list the directories and subdirectories up to a certain depth, “simply” enter:
[bash light=”1″]
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d
[/bash]
Option maxdepth states how deep the subdirectories should be listed, option type restricts output to directories (d
).
If a directory listing including size is required, this much shorter snippet does the trick, using du
(disk usage), the counterpart to the often-used df
(disk free):
[bash light=”1″]du -hd 1[/bash]
Option h
triggers human-readable output, replacing size byte count (5820) with SI prefixed numbers (5.8K), while d
limits the recursion depth like before.
