Getting directory size using ruby

7stud2 · 22 January 2014 13:24

Hi, I want to measure directory size using Ruby. I can use
sys/filesystem gem but I didn't understand from examples how can it
ensure this?

github.com

djberg96/sys-filesystem/blob/ffi/examples/example_stat.rb

######################################################################
# example_stat.rb
#
# Example program that demonstrates the FileSystem.stat method.
# Use the 'rake example' task to run this program.
######################################################################
require 'sys/filesystem'
include Sys

p Filesystem::VERSION

stat = Filesystem.stat("/")
puts "Path: " + stat.path
puts "Block size: " + stat.block_size.to_s
puts "Fragment size: " + stat.fragment_size.to_s
puts "Blocks free: " + stat.blocks_free.to_s
puts "Blocks available: " + stat.blocks_available.to_s
puts "Files/Inodes: " + stat.files.to_s
puts "Files/Inodes free: " + stat.files_free.to_s
puts "Files/Inodes available: " + stat.files_available.to_s

This file has been truncated. show original

And I musn't do `du -sh directory` so how can I get directory & file
size, can you suggest me something for this?

Thanks.

Traverse with Find or Pathname and sum individual sizes.

Cheers
