Go read "man du". It will answer this question for you so that you don't need
to bother everyone.

Asking for the command is one thing - they can be hard to find. Asking
how to use it is annoying when the answer is clearly in the manual
entry. Always read the manual entry first. _Then_ ask, but with enough
context to show what you've tried and what parts of the manual seemed
unhelpful.

And please trim your quoted material for readability - it's easier for everyone.

Cheers,
