NAME
       gdu - Pretty fast disk usage analyzer written in	Go

SYNOPSIS
       gdu [flags] [directory_to_scan]

DESCRIPTION
       Pretty fast disk	usage analyzer written in Go.

       Gdu is intended primarily for SSD disks where it	can fully utilize par-
       allel  processing.  However HDDs	work as	well, but the performance gain
       is not so huge.
