160 files in my laptop, using 652K, 122 files in a LAMP server, using 492K. > bash's man page is considerably larger than all that all by itself. bash's man page is 62K in my laptop (compressed with bzip2), 277K uncompressed. So, not quite exactly like you say, but the point remains true. The man pages in my laptop use more than 20 times the space used in /usr/lib/systemd (and that includes binaries like systemd itself and systemd-udev). acero ~ # du -sh /usr/share/man 82M /usr/share/man acero ~ # du -sh /usr/lib/systemd/ 3.6M /usr/lib/systemd/ And /usr/share/doc is 2.5G in my laptop.
