sizeof

Description

sizeof is a small and powerful uility for finding the size of file or directory in CLI.

Inspiration

So basically i dont find a utility to find the size of a file or directory in the Linux/Unix so i made one.

Prerequisite Linux/Unix

To run this utility you must have installed Python3

• How to install Python3 in linux Distro wise

  • Arch      | pacman -S python3

  • Debian  | apt-get install python3

  • Ubuntu  | apt-get install python3

  • CentOS | yum install python3

  If your disro is not listed here do a quick google search for how to install Python3 for your distro.

Installation For Linux/Unix

git clone https://github.com/ASHWIN990/sizeof.git | echo "1. Clone the repositry"

cd sizeof | echo -e "2. Go to the cloned directory"

bash install.sh | echo "3. Install with this command"

Or you can use this curl command to install the utilty.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ASHWIN990/sizeof/master/insta_install.sh | sudo bash

Package Manager

Arch Linux

sizeof is available in AUR by the name sizeof & sizof

pamac install sizeof

yay -S sizeof

Unistallation for Linux/Unix

To uninstall sizeof from the Linux/Unix System, if installed via script, run this command :-

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ASHWIN990/sizeof/master/uninstall.sh | sudo bash

Usage

• To use size of just pass the file path/name, dir path/name to view the size of it.
• If nothing is passed it will print the size of present working directory.
• You can pass * to get the size of all files and directories in present working directory.

$ sizeof word.txt 

File "word.txt" : 8.134 mb

$ sizeof pic-tool 

Directory "pic-tool" : 285.565 kb

$ sizeof

Directory "." : 24.2 mb
