About:
Duc is a suite of tools for indexing, inspecting, and visualizing disk usage. It maintains a database of file sizes and metadata, allowing for fast queries and interactive TUI or X11-based visualizations. Its main value is providing detailed insights into what is consuming disk space on a system.
Key Features:
  • TUI and GUI visualization modes
  • Fast indexing using Tokyo Cabinet database
  • Supports multiple output formats (text, GUI, TUI)
  • Indexing of large filesystems
Use Cases:
  • Identifying large files and directories consuming disk space
  • Visualizing disk usage patterns on servers or workstations
  • Auditing storage capacity and planning cleanup
Alternatives:
  • ncdu – ncdu is a terminal-based scanner that calculates sizes on the fly, whereas Duc pre-indexes the filesystem for faster subsequent queries.
  • dua – dua offers a modern, fast CLI approach to disk analysis, while Duc focuses on persistent database storage and visualization.
