  • esc to either unselect, or go to parent, or quit

Note: reported sizes take blocks into account, so they may be smaller than the nominal size for the rare sparse files.

Whalespotter is dedicated to one use case: spotting big directories and files. If your goal is to clean your disk, you might be interested in the more recent set of tools I developped. They're described in this blog post.
