tkdu

Fork of Jeff Epler's tkdu program to visualize disk usage and du output

Ported version for Python 3

See original version here or on its website.

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:
