Hi,
it would be nice to have a --include-from=file option for du(1).
i have a plain text file with a lot of path names (verbose output from tar) in
it and want to get the size for this files.
myhost:~ # du -sch `cat file.txt`
-bash: /usr/bin/du: Argument list too long
myhost:~ #
does not work.
i tried xargs(1) but this breaks -s functionality :(
so i hope this is a valid feature request :)
thanks a lot for the great work!
regards
heiko
