I'm often in a directory and want to see the total bytes within that dir, but dua lists every single file in the directory (and subdirs in case there are any). To clarify my question (since my original post was too vague): I want the total size of all files in the current dir (ignoring all subdirs recursively). Is there a way to only see the total: |

Thanks, I am familiar with standard Unix behavior, but I hoped there was an option/argument (like Besides above reason, I wanted only the total size of all files in the current dir (ignoring all subdirs recursively).

I really would love to see this in dua, but if you don't add it, here is a shell script I whipped up. Who knows, maybe someone finds it useful. #!/usr/bin/env bash
# Calculate the size of files in current directory

if [ -d "$1" ]; then
DIR="$1"

echo "Error: not a directory"
