Why is this here again? Some kind of advanced "Directory Enumerator" tech that we haven't heard of?

  du -h | grep -v '/' | gawk '{print $1}'

Mh, I always use du -sh, are there any reasons (compatibility?) to grep the output instead?

with gawk in the pipline, you can stream the results over fiber to a load-balanced cluster of WEDU (Windows Enterprise Disk Usage) appliances.

agreed! hn is not for Hello World and this sure qualifies.
