I would like to request an enhancement to the du utility.
Being as how (I would assume) most people use du to determine what is
taking up all the disk space, I would like to request that du provide
output limited to a range of sizes. For example I want to only see
files greater than or equal to 20MB. This is the greatly preferred
option. Failing this, then I would like to see either
a) output formatted so as to be able to feed it to the "sort"
utility and get a list of files sorted by size or
b) an option in du to sort files by size.
Currently attempting to sort by size results in a mish-mash of pseudo
sorted files. Just so you know, I always use the -h option so as to get
human readable format (which for the record is a fantastic option and I
would love to see it as the default).
Thank you for your consideration.
