About:
diskus is a command-line utility that calculates the total disk usage of a directory. It is written in Rust and designed to be a significantly faster and simpler alternative to the standard 'du -sh' command, providing minimal output with just the essential size information.
Key Features:
  • Extremely fast performance by leveraging parallel processing
  • Minimalist output showing only the total size
  • Simple and easy-to-use command-line interface
  • Low memory footprint
Use Cases:
  • Quickly checking the size of large directories in the terminal
  • Performance-critical scripts where disk usage calculation speed matters
Alternatives:
  • du – The standard POSIX utility; diskus is significantly faster for large directories but offers fewer options.
  • ncdu – An interactive disk usage analyzer; diskus is non-interactive and provides only a summary.
