====
Fork of Harald Göttlicher's [fork](https://github.com/harry-g/tkdu) of Jeff Epler's [tkdu program](https://web.archive.org/web/20090113182447/http://unpythonic.net:80/jeff/tkdu/) to visualize disk usage and `du` output
Ported version for Python 3
See original version [here](https://github.com/daniel-beck/tkdu/commit/55ef0278c58b5a03687180bb5e5722fa3a22d7a5)
or [on its website](https://web.archive.org/web/20090113182447/http://unpythonic.net:80/jeff/tkdu/).
Usage:
```
tkdu.py <file.gz> interpret file as gzipped `du -ak` output and visualize it
tkdu.py <file> interpret file as `du -ak > <file>` output and visualize it
tkdu.py <folder> analyze disk usage in that folder
tkdu.py - interpret stdin input as du -ak output and visualize it
tkdu.py ask for folder to analyze (only works for folders!)
```
Example for a gzipped input with timestamp in the file name:
`time du -ak /my-main-dir | gzip > du.log-$( date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S ).gz`
Controls:
