summarize disk usage of the NUL-terminated file names specified in file F; if F is -, then read names from standard input
-H
equivalent to --dereference-args (-D)
-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
--inodes
list inode usage information instead of block usage
-k
like --block-size=,1K/
-L, --dereference
dereference all symbolic links
-l, --count-links
count sizes many times if hard linked
-m
like --block-size=,1M/
-P, --no-dereference
don't follow any symbolic links (this is the default)
-S, --separate-dirs
for directories do not include size of subdirectories
--si
like -h, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
-s, --summarize
display only a total for each argument
-t, --threshold=,SIZE/
exclude entries smaller than SIZE if positive, or entries greater than SIZE if negative
--time
show time of the last modification of any file in the directory, or any of its subdirectories
--time=,WORD/
show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime, access, use, ctime or status
--time-style=,STYLE/
show times using STYLE, which can be: full-iso, long-iso, iso, or +FORMAT; FORMAT is interpreted like in 'date'
-X, --exclude-from=,FILE/
exclude files that match any pattern in FILE
--exclude=,PATTERN/
exclude files that match PATTERN
-x, --one-file-system
skip directories on different file systems
--help
display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit

Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from --block-size, and the DU_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE environment variables. Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).

The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).  

PATTERNS

PATTERN is a shell pattern (not a regular expression). The pattern ? matches any one character, whereas * matches any string (composed of zero, one or multiple characters). For example, *.o will match any files whose names end in .o. Therefore, the command
du --exclude='*.o'

will skip all files and subdirectories ending in .o (including the file .o itself).
