A small CLI tool for finding the size of subdirectories.
Given a directory path to begin searching from, drsz will calculate the total size in bytes of each top-level subdirectory. Handy if you want to quickly find what directories might be using up alot of storage space on your drive.
At the command line run ./drsz ./some_directory. drsz will recursively search through each top-level subdirectory in ./some_directory, add up the file sizes of the contents, and then print the total size to the console.
For example:
>>> drsz ./spruce
Found 3 top level directories in /Users/mike/spruce
Calculating... 100% |████████████████████████████████████████| (3/3)

Default usage which outputs results to the terminal:
drsz ./some_directory
Write results to an output file:
drsz -o ./results.csv ./some_directory
Speed up the program with 5x concurrent directory searches. Using this option will increase the read load on the drive being searched.
drsz -c 5 ./some_directory
Mac, Linux, and Windows binaries have been pre-built and are available in Releases. Simply download one and follow the Usage instructions above. Alternatively, clone the repo and run make to build from source.
At the command line you can either run the executable by providing the full filepath to it, or make an alias in your path to the binary to create a shortened drsz command for more convenient access.
