       end of this man page for details.

Description

       Mdu   is   used  to  list  the  space  occupied  by  a  directory,  its
       subdirectories and its files. It is similar to the du command on  Unix.
       The  unit  used  are  clusters.   Use the minfo command to find out the
       cluster size.

       mdu [-a] [ msdosfiles ... ]

       a      All files.  List also the space occupied for individual files.

       s      Only  list  the  total  space,  don’t  give  details  for   each
              subdirectory.

Viewing the texi doc

       This  manpage  has  been  automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo
       documentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some
       items,  such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
       translation  process.   Indeed,  these  items   have   no   appropriate
       representation  in  the  manpage format.  Moreover, not all information
       has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I  strongly  advise
       you  to  use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for
       instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy  from  the  texinfo  doc,  run  the
              following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

              A       premade       html       can       be      found      at
              ‘http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html’

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable  using  emacs’  info  mode),
              run:

                     ./configure; make info

       The  texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in
       the info version certain examples are difficult  to  read  due  to  the
       quoting conventions used in info.
