You will therefore be creating a tool called <b>duim (du improved></b>. Your script will call du and return the contents of a specified directory, and generate a bar graph for each subdirectory. The bar graph will represent the drive space as percent of the total drive space for the specified directory.
An example of the finished code your script might produce is this:
<code><pre><b>user@host ~ $ ./duim.py /usr/local/lib</b><pre>
61 % [============ ] 160.2 MiB /usr/local/lib/heroku
4 % [= ] 10.8 MiB /usr/local/lib/python2.7
0 % [ ] 8.0 kiB /usr/local/lib/python3.8
Total: 261.4 MiB /usr/local/lib
</precode></codepre>
