# Show The Size Of Everything In A Directory
|
|
|
|
The `ls` command will list everything in a given directory. The `du`
|
|
command is used to display disk usage statistics -- with the `-sh` flag, it
|
|
will display the file size in a human readable format.
|
|
|
|
We can combine these two commands with `xargs` to get a listing of the sizes
|
|
of everything in a directory.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ls | xargs du -sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `man du` and `man xargs` for more details.
