How can I get the total size of files (in a tree of subdirectories) of
the pattern *.chi?
I tried:
find . -name "*.chi" -printf "%h/%f " | xargs du -total
But it seems to sum up the total in "bursts" - and I'm not sure if I
can trust the final total. Anyway, there must be an easier way?
Various solutions have been posted, but I'll add this general-purpose one:
ftp://ftp.armory.com/pub/scripts/jdu (program)
ftp://ftp.armory.com/pub/scripts/help_pages/jdu (help page)
This is a du-like utility, written using GNU find and gawk. Among its
features, it allows you to give find options to restrict the files counted.
To get the output requested above, you'd use:
jdu -s -f '-name "*.chi"'
