[chiglug] fyi: list top 10 largest open files

[Freddy Martinez]

Often I find myself sorting disk use using du -sh * but it doesn't properly
handle Mb, Gb, Kb for historical reasons.  So there is an alias I use often
called duf

alias duf='du -sk * | sort -n | while read size fname; do for unit in k M G
T P E Z Y; do if [ $size -lt 1024 ]; then echo -e
"${size}${unit}\t${fname}"; break; fi; size=$((size/1024)); done; done'

Try it out.
