The version I have uses `-d` for the depth option, not `-depth`. Here's the version string as shown by `man du`: ``` BSD June 2, 2004 BSD ``` In addition to this fix, this commit changes the tokens to clarify that they are paths, and changes "directory" to "folder", which is shorter and more accessible.

Estimate file space usage.
- Get a sum of the total size of a file/folder in human readable units:
du -sh {{path/to/file_or_folder}}
- List file sizes of a directory and any subdirectories in KB:
du -k {{path/to/file_or_folder}}
- Get recursively, individual file/folder sizes in human readable form:
du -ah {{path/to/folder}}
- List the human-readable sizes of directories for 2 levels of depth below the specified directory:
du -h -d 2 {{path/to/folder}}
