[nflug] du block size

[Roelant Ossewaarde]

It's whatever the value of your environment variable BLOCKSIZE is,  
most often 512 bytes. See man getbsize().

Use '-k' to have du report in kilobytes. Some implementations also  
understand '-h' for 'human-readable', in which case du will choose  
either Kbytes, Megabytes or Gigabytes, depending on the size of the  
file.

Bye,

Roelant.
