# Folder Metrics Script Documentation
This document provides an overview and step-by-step explanation of the `folder-metrics.sh` script. This script calculates disk usage and file count for a directory and its subdirectories.
## Script Overview
The script performs the following main tasks:
1. Checks if a directory is provided as an argument.
2. Calculates the disk usage of the directory.
3. Iterates over each subdirectory to calculate disk usage and file count.
4. Outputs the results in a tabular format.
## Detailed Steps
### 1. Check if a Directory is Provided
```bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <directory>"
exit 1
fi
```
This block checks if a directory is provided as an argument. If not, it prints a usage message and exits.
### 2. Calculate Disk Usage of the Directory
```bash
echo "Disk usage for directory: $1"
echo "--------------------------"
du -sh "$1"
```
This block calculates and prints the disk usage of the provided directory.
### 3. Iterate Over Each Subdirectory
```bash
echo
echo "Usage for each subdirectory"
echo "--------------------------"
for dir in "$1"/*; do
if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
space_used=$(du -sh "$dir" | cut -f1)
file_count=$(find "$dir" -type f | wc -l)
printf "%-30s %-10s %10s files\n" "$(basename "$dir")" "$space_used" "$file_count"
fi
done
```
This block iterates over each subdirectory, calculates the disk usage and file count, and prints the results in a tabular format.
## Usage
To use the script, run it with the directory path as an argument:
```shell
./folder-metrics.sh <directory>
```
- `<directory>`: The path to the directory for which you want to calculate disk usage and file count.
## Important Information
- Ensure that the script is executable. You can make it executable with the following command:
```shell
chmod +x folder-metrics.sh
```
- The script requires a directory path as an argument. Ensure that you provide a valid directory path when running the script.
By following this documentation, you should be able to understand and use the `folder-metrics.sh` script effectively.
