#197578 — 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.

"tree -sd" gives the visual shape desired.

Suggestions?
TIA

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.)

"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.

Try the following:
1. Install duc-nox
2. Build the DUC database with 'sudo duc-nox index -pH /'
   (-p = progress, -H counts hardlinks only once)
3. Display the tree with 'duc-nox ls -R /path/to/dir'

For more information, please reread.

Yes! Thank you.
I tried it. I liked it.
I'll explore it more this afternoon.

I tried it, too. duc-nox ui /path/to/dir (k/t man duc-nox) gets you
something interactive that you can navigate through by using the arrow
keys..

the "ls -R" path looks very *cognitively friendly* for comparing
multiple directories for changes. YES, I've tried other methods, but
primarily "diff" comes to mind. Stumbled around while trying to use
them because the information wasn't, I don't know how to express it,
it just wasn't cogitatin'. This one looks like what *my brain*
visually needed for that task. :)

Duc-nox... well, it's probably more the terminal's default itself...
honors the "duc-nox ls -R /var/log > ducNikonPics2018" [print to file]
deal, too. That's the bonus feature that will REALLY help me.
#ThankYou from behind this keyboard, too! :)

I've begun exploration.
It is so close to what I want that "I can taste it" ;/
The primary thing I needed to add to your example was "--dirs-only".

My current problem is a perverse combination "length of directory names" 
and choices program designers faced due to "finite screen width".

I get some silly/inane results/errors when attempting to specify a 
maximum directory depth. How do I specify a depth of 2 or 3? "There is 
no joy in Mudville, I've struck out searching for examples." {apologies 
to Ernest Lawrence ;}

Guidance please ;/
