du --exclude='pattern' only opposite?
 
Is there a way to find disk usage for a particular file pattern (ie. '*.tmp')?

Code:
du -sh /path/to/file

Yes, once check manual of du here. It says:
Code:
Synopsis

du [OPTION]... [FILE]...
du [OPTION]... --files0-from=F
Note: For /tmp you should be root.

Code:
~$ du -sk /tmp

From what I've read, the "--files0-from=F" option lets me input filenames from a text file or stdin but neither does what I want. And I'm not looking to see the disk allocation from a directory. I want to see the disk usage by file pattern (ie. *.iso) in the current directory and sub-directories. Something like "du -sk *.bak" which doesn't work.

Maybe using something like
Code:
find . -name \*.iso -exec du {} +
You can also use the -printf action of find to display the disk usage:
Code:
find . -name \*.iso -printf "%k\t%p\n"

Sweet, thank you very much.
