Author "du -ks" but only for a user

Hello,

I have a simple question:
Into a folder can save data a couple of users. To control the amount of

data which each user has created I want to use "du -ks" but only for a
user.
Could somebody give me an idea how can I realize this ?


Many thanks.


Michel g.

Do a directory listing of the files in that directory using ls -l.
Pipe that listing through an awk program that has a accumulators for each
user and add each file size from the ls command to the accumulator for
the user who owns the file. When the awk program has processed all of
the output of the ls command, print out the accumulators.
