dirsize

A small, cross-platform disk usage analyzer written in C17.

dirsize recursively walks a directory tree, calculates the space used by files and directories, and presents the results in a readable form.

Goals

The goal of this project is to build, test, document, and release a small useful systems program with a strict scope.

This is not intended to become a full replacement for tools such as du.
