# mate-disk-usage-analyzer(1)

A graphical tool to analyse disk usage

## NAME

**Baobab** - A graphical tool to analyse disk usage

## SYNOPSIS

**baobab**  \[directory\]

## DESCRIPTION

**baobab** is able to scan either specific folders or the whole  filesystem (local and remote), in order to give the user a graphical tree  representation including each directory size or percentage in the branch. It also auto-detects in real-time any change made to your home directory  as far as any mounted/unmounted device. A graphical treemap window is also  provided for any selected folder.

A detailed documentation on the program could be read at: http://www.mate.org/projects/baobab
