Linux's way to see the file size is by executing the [du-ahskm file or directory name] command. If you want to see the size of a specified directory, use the command [du-sh directory_name].

Detailed introduction:

Command: du

Syntax format:

[plain] du [- ahskm] file or directory name

Parameter explanation-a: lists all file and directory capacity, because only the directory capacity is counted by default

-h: display in a capacity format that is easy for people to read (G/M/K), and automatically select the unit size of the display

-s: list only the total amount, but not the capacity occupied by each individual directory

-k: display in KB

-m: display common command references in MB
