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         ...
