Phd

Phd is a tool to browse changes in disk space usage. It creates a database and creates SVG images of the usage. The svg uses area and color to display both file size and size change relative to the compared date. A cgi wrapper is also available for browsing usage. Phd is a near complete rewrite of philesight (http://zevv.nl/play/code/philesight/) with many changes.

Installation

$ gem install phd

Usage

$ phd <directory>

or to reuse a database:

$ phd <directory> -d <database>
