  Add two new options to du(1):
       -A      Display the apparent size instead of the disk usage.  This can be
               helpful when operating on compressed volumes or sparse files.
  
       -B blocksize
               Calculate block counts in blocksize byte blocks.  This is differ-
               ent from the -k, -m options or setting BLOCKSIZE and gives an
               estimate of how much space the examined file hierachy would
               require on a filesystem with the given blocksize.  Unless in -A
               mode, blocksize is rounded up to the next multiple of 512.
  
  The former is similar to GNU's du(1) --apparent-size.  The latter is
  different from what GNU's du(1) -B does, which is equivalent to setting
  BLOCKSIZE in our implementation and is rather pointless as it doesn't add
  any real value (i.e. you can achieve the same with a simple awk-script).
  
  No change in the normal output or processing.
