Need Help??

in reply to du -h, sorted

Honestly, though, I'd skip du, and just use cog's FileSys::DiskUsage module. It wouldn't be as short, but it'd be, um, a bit more readable ;-)

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Filesys::DiskUsage qw(du);
use Sort::Key qw(ikeysort);

my @files = @ARGV ? @ARGV : glob '*';
my %sizes = du(
               {
                   'make-hash' => 1,
                   'recursive' => 0,
                   'sector-size' => 1024,
               }, @files);

@files = ikeysort { $sizes{$_} } keys %sizes;

my %config = ( human => 1, 'truncate-readable' => 2 );
printf "%8s %s\n",
    Filesys::DiskUsage::_convert($sizes{$_}, %config),
    $_ for @files;

But, that's just me. (And look at all the other cool things you can do with Filesys::DiskUsage, or even the output format!
