fileSize: Calculate file sizes omitting hard links

In PredictiveEcology/pedev: Predictive Ecology Development Tools

Calculate file sizes omitting hard links

Description

If two files are hardlinks, they don't actually take up extra space on disk: there is only one copy of the data and two pointers to the data.

Usage

file.sizeWOLinks(path = ".", units = "auto", recursive = FALSE)

file.sizeCompare(path = ".", units = "auto", recursive = TRUE)

Arguments

path	The path to evaluate file sizes in. Must be a directory.
units	the units to be used in formatting and printing the size. Allowed values for the different standards are standard = "legacy": "b", "Kb", "Mb", "Gb", "Tb", "Pb", "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" and "PB". standard = "IEC": "B", "KiB", "MiB", "GiB", "TiB", "PiB", "EiB", "ZiB" and "YiB". standard = "SI": "B", "kB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB", "RB", and "QB". For all standards, unit = "auto" is also allowed. If standard = "auto", any of the "legacy" and IEC units are allowed. See ‘Formatting and printing object sizes’ for details.
recursive	Logical indicating whether to search recursively.
