And while top is referred to throughout this document, you are free to name the program anything you wish.   That\r\n       new name, possibly an alias, will then be reflected on top's display and used when reading and writing a configuration file.\r\n<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Du-command\"><\/span>Du command<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The du command is used for disk usage of files and directories.
