       -b, --bytes
	      print size in bytes

       -c, --total
	      produce a grand total

       -D, --dereference-args
	      dereference PATHs when symbolic link

       -h, --human-readable
	      print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

       -H, --si

       -k, --kilobytes
	      like --block-size=1024

       -S, --separate-dirs

       -s, --summarize

       -X FILE, --exclude-from=FILE

       --exclude=PAT
	      Exclude files that match PAT.

       --max-depth=N
	      print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it
	      is  N  or  fewer	levels	below  the  command   line   argument;

       --help display this help and exit
