 +Lets use this command on the /home/streamer/bin folder:
 +    cd /home/streamer/bin
 +    ll
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root        128 Aug  9 11:15 1080i
 +    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2636986136 Aug  9 11:21 avp.ts
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root         44 Aug  9 11:15 bbc
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root        192 Aug  9 11:18 CRa
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root         67 Aug  9 11:18 example
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root         63 Aug  9 11:18 itv
 +    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root         87 Aug  9 11:21 kill_all_mpeg2ts_broadcaster.sh
 +    -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     825163 Aug  9 11:21 libos.so
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root       4096 Sep 20 15:53 MK.ts
 +    -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root      17387 Aug  9 11:21 mpeg2ts_broadcaster
 +    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  813563044 Aug  9 11:21 Oro4KTest.ts
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root        105 Aug  9 11:19 virgin
 +    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root       4096 Aug  9 11:20 zb
 +Now I use the following:
 +    du -h -s 
 +The output is:
 +    30G     .
 +However, if I use the same with a star * at the end:
 +<file>
 +du -h -s *
  
 +1.3G    1080i
 +2.5G    avp.ts
 +15G     bbc
 +502M    CRa
 +832K    example
 +576M    itv
 +4.0K    kill_all_mpeg2ts_broadcaster.sh
 +808K    libos.so
 +2.4G    MK.ts
 +20K     mpeg2ts_broadcaster
 +776M    Oro4KTest.ts
 +554M    virgin
 +7.5G    zb
 +</file>
 +\\ 
 +\\ 
 +I could have done the same thing from say root by issuing the command:
 +<file>
 +du -h -s /home/streamer/bin/*
  
- +1.3G    /home/streamer/bin/1080i 
- +2.5G    /home/streamer/bin/avp.ts 
- +15G     /home/streamer/bin/bbc 
- +502M    /home/streamer/bin/CRa 
 +832K    /home/streamer/bin/example 
 +576M    /home/streamer/bin/itv 
 +4.0K    /home/streamer/bin/kill_all_mpeg2ts_broadcaster.sh 
 +808K    /home/streamer/bin/libos.so 
 +2.4G    /home/streamer/bin/MK.ts 
 +20K     /home/streamer/bin/mpeg2ts_broadcaster 
 +776M    /home/streamer/bin/Oro4KTest.ts
