How do I get a count of the files in directories? I need to be able to
get a listing of the number of files in a directory and counts for the
files in each sub-directory.
% ls -l | wc -l            (In a directory)
% ls -lR | wc -l             (Including sub-directories)
Or, if you are looking for subtotals, something close to this might be
helpful.  Beware that this will include a count for the "." and ".."
entries.

$ for dir in `find . -type d`; do echo $dir ; ls -l $dir | wc -l; done

There is probably a better way to do this.
