Purpose

  This recipe is a collection of little ditties related to the size
  attribute.

Motivation

  If a ditty is worth remembering, it's worth writing down and
  sharing.

Requirements

  UNIX or Windows platform with FTimes and Perl installed.

Time to Implement

  These ditties are designed to be cut-n-paste ready. There should be
  little, if any, time involved.

Solution

  This ditty finds all files and directories on the system (including
  mounted shares) that have a size greater than 100,000,000 bytes:

  UNIX:

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 | perl -ne '($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); next unless ($size > 100000000); print;'

  Windows:

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 | perl -ne "($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); next unless ($size > 100000000); print;"

  This ditty determines the number of bytes consumed by all files and
  directories on the system (including mounted shares):

  UNIX:

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 | perl -ne '($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); $total+=$size; END { print $total,"\n"; }'

  Windows:

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 | perl -ne "($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); $total+=$size; END { print $total; }"

  Note: if you want to restrict the size calculation to a smaller set
  of files and/or directories run the command like so:

  UNIX: (restricted to /tmp and /var/tmp)

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 /tmp /var/tmp | perl -ne '($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); $total+=$size; END { print $total,"\n"; }'

  Windows: (restricted to C:\Temp and D:\Temp)

    ftimes --mapauto none+size -l 6 C:\Temp D:\Temp | perl -ne "($name,$size)=split(/[|]/); $total+=$size; END { print $total; }"

Closing Remarks

  Watch out for quoting issues when crossing between UNIX and Windows
  platforms.

  If you have a ditty you'd like to share, let me know and I'll add it
  to the list.
