16.20 The vtree Visual Directory Tree Programs

vtree	The vtree program is similar to stree ( 16.19 ) , but it has a few extra features that might make it worth your while. You can use vtree to get information not only about the directories, but about how much disk space they use:

% 

vtree /usr

 
 /usr : 0
   lost+found : 0
   local : 13880
      lost+found : 0
      bin : 23673
         RCS : 41
      lib : 6421
         news : 28896
            bin : 2
         newsbin : 269
            batch : 97
            expire : 138
            input : 91

vtree also has options to show how many inodes ( 1.22 ) are in each directory and to control how many levels down to display. The -v option tells vtree to give a "visual" display, showing the directory structure:

% 

vtree -v /usr


/usr ---+-> lost+found
           +-> local ---+-> lost+found
           |              +-> bin ----+-> RCS
           |              +-> lib ----+-> news ---+-> bin
           |              |              +-> newsbin --+-> batch
           |              |              |              +-> expire
           |              |              |              +-> input
        ...
