CLI Machines Files Info

`ed machines files info`

Measures how big something is, following a directory all the way down.

ed machines files info <machine> <path> [--json]

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`machine`	machine name, SSH alias, id or unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine.
`path`	remote path	required	What to measure.
`--json`	flag	off	Emit JSON on stdout.

{
  "machine": "Asus TUF 7",
  "path": "/var/log",
  "sizeBytes": 419430400
}

ed machines files info tuf /var/log
ed machines files info tuf /home/pulkit/uploads --json
ed machines tuf files info /srv

What runs is du -sk <path>, capped at 120 seconds, and the kilobytes are multiplied by 1024. This is disk usage rather than the sum of file sizes, so it counts whole blocks and answers for directories, which is the reason to use it instead of reading sizeBytes out of ed machines files ls.

The human line is formatted by macOS rather than by Edith's own byte formatter, so it reads the way Finder's Get Info reads:

$ ed machines files info tuf /var/log
419.4 MB  /var/log

du's errors are discarded, so a path that does not exist is reported as nothing at all rather than as a failure: the size is 0, the line reads Zero KB /nope, and the exit code is 0. Confirm the path with ed machines files ls when a zero would be surprising.
