SYNOPSIS

       ncdu [-hqvx] [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.

       If dir is specified, ncdu will automatically start calculating the disk
       size. Otherwise, you will be prompted with a small  configuration  win-
       dow.

       For    a    more   detailed   explanation   of   ncdu,   please   check
       http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/

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.

              tories, 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
