NAME
       filesize - determine files' sizes

SYNOPSIS
       filesize [-fhkmrsv] [file[s]*]

DESCRIPTION
       filesize  scans	and stat(2)s all specified files and adds
       up their sizes, including only regular files  while  doing
       so.  Special  files,  like links, directories, devices and
       pipes, are treated as zero  length.  Unlike  du(1),  which
       counts  the amount of space being used in the file system,
       filesize counts the (regular) files' actual sizes.

OPTIONS
       -f     Follows symbolic links  and  treat  the  respective
	      target  as  a  file to be included when determining
	      the total size of all files.

       -h     Displays a brief command line overview.

       -k     Displays all sizes in KB instead of bytes.

       -m     Displays all sizes in MB instead of bytes.

       -r     Recursively descents into directories.

       -s     Automatically chooses appropriate size unit for all
	      processed files.

       -v     Verbose  output.	Displays  additional  information
	      about any processed file, whether or not adding  to
	      the total amount of file sizes.  This option may be
	      specified  multiple  times,   yielding   additional
	      information the more often it occurs.

EXIT CODE
       On success, 0 is returned. Otherwise, 1 is returned.
