Mimic du when running in scripts

[xmstspider]

Hi, thanks for the gdu, I tested it recently and I really like it. When running in my scripts, I would like to mimic the du command to get out the same information for my parser.

1. I have directory e.g. /some/path/a with some sub-directories. When running du --summarize /some/path/a, I will get a size of that particular directory. Runnig gdu -cnp /some/path/a prints
   78GB /dir1
45GB /dir2
   where dir1 and dir2 are sub-dirs of /some/path/a, but I won't get the summary size of /some/path/a. Am I missing something?

2. There is an option for ignoring strings (-I), but would it be possible to implement exclude file, i.e. I use this command du --exclude-from SOME_FILE, it would be great to be able to do same thing in gdu

Thanks and keep up the good work :-)

Hi @xmstspider, thank you for great suggestions!

1. Will add -s, --summarize option for this.
2. Will add -X, --ignore-from options for reading ignore patterns from file
