size -- show size of file or directory
syntax: size <pathname>
ex: size this
size =:sys
size .61=:dir
For a non-directory file, prints file size in blocks and in
bytes. For a directory, compute and print the sum of the
sizes of all the files and directories within the directory.
Wildcards are allowed.
The total size in BYTES of a directory is often MUCH smaller
than 512 times its size in BLOCKS, even though all blocks
are 512 bytes long. This is because not all the bytes of a
file's last block are used. As an extreme example, a
directory containing 12 files of one byte each would have a
size of 13 blocks (1 for the directory and 1 each for the
files), but only 524 bytes (512 for the directory block and
1 each for the files).
(Note that the size reported for a volume directory includes
actual directory blocks but omits the 2 boot blocks and the
bitmap block(s). There is one bitmap block for every 4096
blocks on the volume.)
