================================================================ XDU - Display the output of "du" in an X window

XDU is a program for displaying a graphical tree of disk space utilization as reported by the UNIX utility "du". You can navigate up and down in the tree, sort things, and print out information. See the manual page for details.

This program can be found by anonymous ftp at

ftp.arl.mil:pub/xdu-3.0.tar.Z

and should appear in the X11R6 contrib files.

================================================================ Compilation

Use "xmkmf" to build a Makefile from the Imakefile. Then "make", "make install", "make install.man". But if for some reason you can't do that, try:

cc -o xdu xdu.c xwin.c -lXaw -lXt -lXext -lX11

See the XDu.ad file if e.g. you have problems with the selected font.

This release was tested against X11R6 patch level 1 on an SGI running Irix 5.2. It has been tested against X11R5 on SunOS 4.1.3, SunOS 5.2 (Solaris), SGI Irix 4.0.5, Gould UTX 2.1.

================================================================ Revision History

Version 3.0 5 Jun 94 X11R6 contrib release Popup help window Now uses Athena widgets, but no menus or buttons yet

Version 2.1 22 Jul 93 Fixed a bug in the sorting code where traversal back up a sorted tree could land you in the wrong parent directory.

Version 2.0 21 Jul 93 Added sorting. Command line options. More resources. Better redraw behavior. Bug fixes (to handle trailing slashes and directories with no or zero size information).

================================================================ Remaining Bug?

On startup on a Sun (but not on an SGI), keyboard input may not be received by the application until you move the mouse out of and back into the window. Button presses are fine. Does anyone know what's going on there? Mark Evans pointed out a fix - now in the BUG section of the manual page, but I would still like to hear how/why this happens.
