NAME
Tie::DiskUsage - Tie disk usage to a hash
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::DiskUsage;
tie %usage, 'Tie::DiskUsage', '/var', '-h';
print $usage{'/var/log'};
untie %usage;
DESCRIPTION
`Tie::DiskUsage' ties the disk usage, which is extracted from the output of `du(1)', to a hash. If the path to perform the `du' command on is `undef', the current working directory will be examined; options to `du' may be passed at the end of the `tie' invocation with a string provided per option.
By default, the location of the `du' command is assumed to be at /usr/bin/du; if `du' cannot be found there, `File::Which' will attempt to gather its real location.
The default path to `du' may be overridden by setting the global `$Tie::DiskUsage::DU_BIN' (usually not needed due to `File::Which''s automatic search for `du').
BUGS & CAVEATS
Processing output of `du(1)' requires that each output line is ended by a newline.
