There are several commands you can use in Unix to view disk usage information, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. df<\/code>: The df<\/code> command displays information about disk space usage on your file system. By default, df<\/code> shows disk usage information for all mounted file systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s an example of how to use df<\/code>:<\/p>\n

    \n
    <\/div>\n
    df<\/span> -h
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The -h<\/code> option makes the output more human-readable, by displaying the sizes in “human-readable” format (e.g., in MB, GB, etc.).<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. du<\/code>: The du<\/code> command displays the size of a directory and its subdirectories. By default, du<\/code> shows the size in kilobytes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Here’s an example of how to use du<\/code>:<\/p>\n

      \n
      <\/div>\n
      du<\/span> -h \/path\/to\/directory
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      The -h<\/code> option makes the output more human-readable, by displaying the sizes in “human-readable” format (e.g., in MB, GB, etc.). Replace \/path\/to\/directory<\/code> with the path to the directory you want to check.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. ncdu<\/code>: The ncdu<\/code> command is a disk usage analyzer that provides an ncurses-based interface for viewing disk usage information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Here’s an example of how to use ncdu<\/code>:<\/p>\n

        \n
        <\/div>\n
        ncdu \/path\/to\/directory
        \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Replace \/path\/to\/directory<\/code> with the path to the directory you want to check.<\/p>\n
