I'm sure Matthew knows the answer, but you should use a more relevant
subject.  This way the archived posts will be more useful to future

Use the -s option of the `du' utility:

keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ du -sk tmp/emacs-src
187436  tmp/emacs-src
keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ du -sh tmp/emacs-src
183M    tmp/emacs-src
keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$
