.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBncdu\fP (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.
.PP
If \fIdir\fP is specified, \fBncdu\fP will automatically start
calculating the disk size. Otherwise, you will be prompted
with a small configuration window.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB-a\fP
Apparent sizes. Normally, \fBncdu\fP would calculate the

to simply calculate the actual size of the files.
.TP
\fB-h\fP
Print a small help message
.TP
\fB-q\fP
Quiet mode. While calculating disk space, \fBncdu\fP will
update the screen 10 times a second by default, this

mode. Use this feature to save bandwidth over remote
connections.
