Re: [PLUG] Good tools to assay disk usage in linux

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Or `man find` and look for "-printf", like:
	find . -printf '%M\t%u\t%g\t%t\t%s\t%p\n'
	find . -printf '%s\t%p\n'

If you want to do time stuff, you need to put %T before each time 
element, which confused the heck out of me for a while.  Like:

# "CCYY-MM-DD HH:MM {tab} size {tab} path" sorted by path:
find . -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM\t%s\t%p\n' | sort -t'<TAB>' 
-k3,3

Need to replace <TAB> with a real tab character...
