rdu: a du ASCII visualizer in Rust

Copyright © 2018 Andrew Graham, Joshua Sleeper, Anthony Spurgeon

This is a new implementation of duvis, an xdu replacement for visualizing du disk usage output, written in Rust. duvis had an unfortunate dependency on gtk+-3.0 for the graphical mode and rdu seeks to limit external dependencies to ensure cross-platform operability.

Building

rdu can (hypothetically) be fine building with the latest stable Rust:

# Ensure Rust is up-to-date
rustup update

# Build
cargo build

Testing

rdu comes with some unit tests that can be executed as follows:

cargo test

Usage

rdu consumes the output of du, which is read via standard input (so a pipe or file output are both acceptable.)

du | rdu
cat du-output.txt | rdu

Options

• -p, --pre-order: Enable pre-order sorting
• -v, --verbose: Enable verbose output
• -d, --debug: Enable debug printing
