SYNOPSIS
edrc/bin/duvi
[

duvi
[

AVAILABILITY
WA2L/edrc
DESCRIPTION
Create or edit the "disk usage index" file. This file (
..du_index
) contains the purpose (usage) of a certain directory. It is like a
label of a directory.
After wards this file is searched by the
du_report
command to create a report which lists the usage of all labeled directories
with and some additional information like the size of the directory in kByte.
duvi
has to be started as user 'root' and saves the
..du_index
file with the access permissions of '700'.
du_report
will only include files with those credentials into the report.
To label a directory you have to change to the directory and call the
duvi
command. This command loads an existing
..du_index
file into
vi
or provides a template to be filled out. The
..du_index
file can hold the description of the directory in different languages.
-
The provided languages are:
- en
-
for English
- de
-
for german
With this mechanism it is very easy to document a system without maintaining
extra lists which document the purpose of certain directories.
