How to check directory file size on linux (Solution)
hmm… linux whatever also in command line, it really make me uncomfortable, i even need to issue a command to check a directory size.
du -lh
P.S
always issue -h to display file size in human readable format
We can check summary of a directory by issuing
du -sh
Say you wish to get the total size of all the log files or any files in a directory with a similar pattern, you can also use the below command
ls -lrt *.log | gawk ‘{ sum += $5 }; END { print sum }’
Thanks
