Thanks Ed, this functionality seems to be counter intuitive to me. Given that du shows space used in sub-directories, it seems to me the only useful output is du without any parameters.
'du' with no parameters recursively lists all the subdirectories and their sizes, along with the grand total. When applied to my home directory, I get over 30,000 lines of output. That's almost never what I want. My usual call is 'du -hs'.
