This program outputs the size (in bytes) of one or more specified files. Optionally, it can also display the name of the file (the default is to output only the file size) and the total size of all the specified files.
sizeof [-h | --help] [-v] [-t] file...
Options:
-h, --help Display this help message and exit. -v Verbose mode. Outputs file name in addition to file size. -t Total size of specified files.
sizeof *.txt
Lists the sizes of each of the specified files.
sizeof -t *.txt
Lists the total size (in bytes) of all of the specified files.
sizeof -v *.txt
Lists both the size and the name of each of the specified files.
Just put it someplace useful. How about /usr/local/bin?
Tested with Red Hat v5.2 and 7.2. Should work with bash anywhere. Uses awk and printf.
