NAME
ncdu - NCurses Disk Usage
SYNOPSIS
ncdu [-hqvx] [--exclude PATTERN] [-X FILE] dir
DESCRIPTION
ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of the well-known
’du’, and provides a fast way to see what directories are using your
disk space.
OPTIONS
-h Print a small help message
-q Quiet mode. While calculating disk space, ncdu will update the
screen 10 times a second by default, this will be decreased to
once every 2 seconds in quiet mode. Use this feature to save
bandwidth over remote connections.
-v Print version.
-x Only count files and directories on the same filesystem as the
specified dir.
--exclude PATTERN
Exclude files that match PATTERN. This argument can be added
multiple times to add more patterns.
-X FILE, --exclude-from FILE
Exclude files that match any pattern in FILE. Patterns should be
seperated by a newline.

d Delete the selected file or directory. An error message will be
shown when the contents of the directory do not match or do not
exist anymore on the filesystem.
t Toggle dirs before files when sorting.
g Toggle between showing percentage, graph, both, or none.
Percentage is relative to the size of the current directory,
graph is relative to the largest item in the current directory.
e Show/hide ’hidden’ or ’excluded’ files and directories. Please
note that even though you can’t see the hidden files and
directories, they are still there and they are still included in
the directory sizes. If you suspect that the totals shown at the
bottom of the screen are not correct, make sure you haven’t
enabled this option.
i Show information about the current selected item.
r Refresh/recalculate the current directory.
