dustr 0.1.7

Rust-based disk usage analyzer with histogram visualization

Dustr

Dustr is a Rust-based implementation of duk, a commandline utility that shows disk usage statistics in a directory with a histogram visualization.

Introduction

Dustr provides the same functionality as duk but with a Rust backend for improved performance. It will show you a histogram of the disk usage in a directory:

Statistics of directory "." :

Total directory size: 288 kByte

Installation

From PyPI (once published)

pip install dustr

From source

First, ensure you have Rust installed (see rustup.rs).

Then install maturin:

pip install maturin

Build and install the package:

cd dustr
maturin develop  # For development
# OR
maturin build --release  # To build a wheel
pip install target/wheels/dustr-*.whl

Usage

dustr [directory]

Options:

• --nogrouping: Don't group thousands with commas
• --noprogress: Don't show progress bar (note: Rust version calculates all at once, so this has less effect)
• --inodes: Show inode count instead of size
• --noF: Don't add file type indicators (/ for directories, @ for symlinks)

Differences from duk

• Performance: Rust backend provides faster directory traversal
• Implementation: Uses native Rust file system operations instead of calling du command
• Progress: Since the Rust implementation calculates all sizes in parallel, progress indication is less granular

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• Rust toolchain (for building from source)
