  • Using st_size field in stat data structure to scan directories' sizes gives me different results than other disk usage analyzers
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 13 Feb 2022
    I'm working on Ncurses based disk usage analyzer. The only way I have found to get directories' sizes is to use lstat() and get it through the st_size field. So I made a recursive function (which is named get_dir_tree()), it reads the directories content and if it's a file it uses lstat() on it, if it's a directory it calls itself recursively. However I have found that it gives larger results than other disk usage analyzers like du, ncdu and baobab and I can't find out why, so any help is really appreciated. Here is the file on Github that contains the function and it is on line 282.
