Re: A command similar to "tree -sd" ?

While pursuing a problem I found the tree command useful.
Not having used it recently I re-read the man page I got ideas related to a *TOTALLY UNRELATED* question.

For the second question it would be useful to have directory output in tree format showing the size on disk of that directory and all sub-directories under it.

Including regular files?

from http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/tree.1.html , in the
"FILE OPTIONS" section:

 | --du
 |   For each directory report its size as the accumulation of sizes
 |   of all its files and sub-directories (and their files, and so
 |   on). The total amount of used space is also given in the final
 |   report (like the 'du -c' command.) This option requires tree to
 |   read the entire directory tree before emitting it, see BUGS AND
 |   NOTES below. Implies -s.

(I don't have this program installed, and so I make no guarantees
regarding the helpfulness of this excerpt. I'm just browsing
documentation.)


"tree -sd" gives the visual shape desired.

Suggestions?

Good luck.

TIA
