## 16.20 The vtree Visual Directory Tree Programs

vtree | The vtree program is similar to stree (16.19), but it has a few extra features that might make it worth your while. You can use vtree to get information not only about the directories, but about how much disk space they use:

>     % vtree /usr
>      /usr : 0
>        lost+found : 0
>        local : 13880
>           lost+found : 0
>           bin : 23673
>              RCS : 41
>           lib : 6421
>              news : 28896
>                 bin : 2
>              newsbin : 269
>                 batch : 97
>                 expire : 138
>                 input : 91

vtree also has options to show how many inodes (1.22) are in each directory and to control how many levels down to display. The -v option tells vtree to give a "visual" display, showing the directory structure:

>     % vtree -v /usr
>     /usr ---+-> lost+found
>                +-> local ---+-> lost+found
>                |              +-> bin ----+-> RCS
>                |              +-> lib ----+-> news ---+-> bin
>                |              |              +-> newsbin --+-> batch
>                |              |              |              +-> expire
>                |              |              |              +-> input
>             ...
