The vtree Visual Directory Tree Programs

vtree The vtree program is similar to stree (), but it has a few extra features that might make it worth your while. You can use vtree to get information not only about the directories, but about how much disk space they use:


% vtree /usr /usr : 0 lost+found : 0 local : 13880 lost+found : 0 bin : 23673 RCS : 41 lib : 6421 news : 28896 bin : 2 newsbin : 269 batch : 97 expire : 138 input : 91

vtree also has options to show how many inodes () are in each directory and to control how many levels down to display. The -v option tells vtree to give a "visual" display, showing the directory structure:

% vtree -v /usr /usr ---+-> lost+found +-> local ---+-> lost+found | +-> bin ----+-> RCS | +-> lib ----+-> news ---+-> bin | | +-> newsbin --+-> batch | | | +-> expire | | | +-> input ...
