dpigs

NAME

dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space

SYNOPSIS

dpigs [options]

DESCRIPTION

dpigs sorts the installed packages by size and outputs the largest ones. Per default dpigs displays the largest 10 packages. You can change this value by using the -n option (see “\s-1OPTIONS\s0”). The information is taken from the dpkg status file with grep-status(1).

OPTIONS

"-h, Display some usage information and exit.
"-n, Display the N largest packages on the system (default 10).
"-s, Use \s-1FILE\s0 instead of the default dpkg status file (which is /var/lib/dpkg/status currently).
