[Cialug] space by directory

[Barry Von Ahsen]

man -k / apropos might help there

"man -k space" brings up commands related to space, du happens to be in there

the results can be hit or miss, depending on if you can hit on the keyword that the maintainer used in the description :)

I can do "df -h" which tells me which mount point is short on space, but I can't seem to find a way to look at the directories under the mount point to figure out which one is using up more than its share of space.
