type "man du" (no quotes) at the unix command line.

du(1)                                                                 du(1)

 NAME
      du - summarize disk usage

 SYNOPSIS
      du [-a|-s] [-bkrx] [-t type] [name ...]

 DESCRIPTION
      The du command gives the number of 512-byte blocks allocated for all
      files and (recursively) directories within each directory and file
      specified by the name operands.  The block count includes the indirect
      blocks of the file.  A file with two or more links is counted only
      once.  If name is missing, the current working directory is used.

      By default, du generates an entry only for the name operands and each
      directory contained within those hierarchies.

    Options
      The du command recognizes the following options:

           -a             Print entries for each file encountered in the
                          directory hierarchies in addition to the normal
                          output.

           -b             For each name operand that is a directory for
                          which file system swap has been enabled, print the
                          number of blocks the swap system is currently
                          using.
