du_report

NAME

SYNOPSIS

du_report [ -c ][ -s ][ -l language ][ -f output_file ]

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

du_report searches ..du_index files to create a report which lists the purpose of all labeled directories and some additional information as the size of the directory in kByte.

du_report only includes "disk usage index" files that have the correct file permissions of '700'.

OPTIONS

-h

usage message.

-l language

generate the report in the corresponding language. The language is resolved from the index file.

-c

use index cache file to create the report. The cache file contains all "disk usage index" files of previous runs. When you know, that no additional index files have been created since the last run of du_report in the root (/) directory, the report creation is speed up drastically due to the fact that not the whole system has to be searched for index files. All index files in the cache are verified against the current situation ahead of do the reporting. If an index file has been created in a certain sub directory (e.g. /export/dat/development/docs) and du_report has been called while staying in this directory, it is added to the index cache file, too.

-s

do not summarize the disk usage for the directories.

-f output_file

file where to save the report to. If this option is not specified, the report is printed to stdout.

ENVIRONMENT

EXIT STATUS

0

no error.

1

du_report has been started as another user then 'root'.

1

the directory where to place the output_file does not exist.

4

usage printed.

5

report creation aborted.

11

temporary directory could not be claimed or created in /tmp. Check the system temporary directory /tmp if you get this error, it is an indicator of system intrusion.

FILES

..du_index

"disk usage" index file.

/var/tmp/du_report.indexfilecache

cache of all "disk usage index" files found during previous runs. If du_report is called using the -c option, this file is read.
