Hi Dan,

I think that the -S option is used to exclude 
the amount of subdirectory bytes in the total.
Well, at least, that's what it does :-)

Yoda:/home/matthew/libxml-1.8.11/doc>$ /usr/local/bin/du
871     ./html
943     .
Yoda:/home/matthew/libxml-1.8.11/doc>$ /usr/local/bin/du -S
871     ./html
72      .


Regards,
Matthew
