NAME
       dugraph - filter du output for one page graph of disk usage
SYNOPSIS
       dugraph
DESCRIPTION
       [from posting: drw@culdev1.UUCP (Dale Worley)]
       I've  always  wanted  to  get  a du listing that shows how the space is
       being used graphically.  I finally wrote a program to digest a du list-
       ing  and  print out a tree, where each directory occupies lines propor-
       tionally to how much space the files in it consume.

       To run it, type "du | dugraph" or some  such.   The  listing  for  each
       directory  starts  with  a  blank space showing space occupied by files
       directly in that directory, then the subtrees for each subdirectory (in
       descending  order of size).  If the subdirectories at the bottom get so
       small that they occupy less than 1 line each, they are all merged  into
       an entry "(etc.)".

       The  entire  listing  always occupies 60 lines (the value of 'length').
       This program has tab-width = 5.
SAMPLE USAGE
       Use as filter only:
            du | dugraph
       For directory trees with non-ascii characters (>177), use:
            du | tr "\200-\377" "?"  | dugraph

Dugraph gives a 60-line display of a directory hierarchy.  It filters
the output of du.  The listing allocates vertical space according
to the size of a directory; small directories are lumped into "etc";
subdirectories shown similarly.

Useful enough IMHO to create an alias:
	alias dugraph='du | tr "\200-\377" "?"  | dugraph'
[why tr? on macosx need to filter out high = non-std ascii characters.]
