 Unix Tip #4347- February  4, 2025
 
LISTING FILES BY SIZE  
  
  
If you want to have a listing of the  
files sorted by size, you can use the  
following command(s), it will list  
the files in decrease order. if you  
need to do the same thing recursively,  
you could use the second one.  
  
ls -l | grep ^- | sort -nr -k 5 | more  
  
ls -lR | grep ^- | sort -nr -k 5 | more
