FILELIGHT(1)

NAME
filelight - graphically display disk usage

SYNOPSIS
filelight [ path ]

DESCRIPTION
filelight allows you to understand exactly where your disk space is being used by graphically representing your file system as a set of concentric segmented rings, where each segment subtends an angle proportional to the disk space occupied by that file or directory.

You can specify a directory to scan on startup at the command line eg:
  filelight /home/mxcl
Starting at the root requires a scan of the entire directory tree, which may take a while.

filelight is available in Konqueror under View | View Mode | RadialMap View.

RUN-TIME COMMANDS

    to find out more about the region of the file system it represents.

Middle click

Right click on the center white circle
