Dir-tree

This program generates a full directory list of a specified disk. It also displays how many files there exists in each directory and the total file size. The disk name has to be specified in the symbolical name ``DISKNAME''. The directory tree is written to the file disktree.txt in the output directory. As long as the symbolical name is correctly defined, this program can be run as stand alone program.

THOR uses this program to generate a directory tree of the disk that has been backed up. This directory tree is sent to the shifter, which he can use when he informs the VSAT people about cleaning of the disk. It is also a valuable tool to find disk-space consuming garbage files that are hidden far down in the directory hierarchy.
