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?
"Yes" and "No" <chuckle>
It was the "Implies -s." in the section you quoted that hinted that
"tree -sd" might be what I wanted.
I just tried "--du". It prints the detail entry for each file.
I wish to print only directory level.
However the information I want is displayed - on a terminal it is
colored blue. Unfortunately when saved to a file it is all "black on
white". Perhaps piping it somewhere will allow me to parse it in a
desired fashion.
Thank you.
from http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/tree.1.html , in the
"FILE OPTIONS" section:

(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
