usage:
- -a, In addition to the default output, include information for each non-directory entry
- -c, display a grand total of the disk usage found by the other arguments

- -H, calculate disk usage for link references specified on the command line
- -k, show sizes as multiples of 1024 bytes, not 512-byte
- -L, calculate disk usage for link references anywhere
- -s, report only the sum of the usage in the current directory, not for each directory therein contained
- -x, only traverse files and directories on the device on which the pathname argument is specified.
