Finding size of a directory
 

I've used Linux for quite some time now and I never really was asked how to find the size of a certain directory, is this possible? If so, how can I do it.

du [directory] -h --max-depth=0

-h makes output more human friendly (e.g. size in mb) max depth stops it retriving the size of directories inside the directory you want

Thanks man, I was just going to re-post saying that I figured it out.
