# The `ncdu` Command
|
|
|
|
`ncdu` (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of the well-known `du` command. It provides a fast way to see what directories are using your disk space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
1. Quiet Mode
|
|
```
|
|
ncdu -q
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Omit mounted directories
|
|
```
|
|
ncdu -q -x
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
```
|
|
ncdu [-hqvx] [--exclude PATTERN] [-X FILE] dir
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
