User Instructions
LIBSIZE produces a listing of all files in a library and the
amount of disk space (in blocks) allocated and used for
each. The report shows the files in
alphabetical order, with the block counts totalled for each
library.
Programmer Instructions
Example of use
The use of disk blocks for measurement ensures that results
will be comparable from library to library, unlike other
measures (record size, record count, number of files, etc.).
LIBSIZE can be used to monitor library size and point out
individual files with excess space allocated.
Comments
One of the few ways to produce a listing showing the block
usage of files within a library. The listing is crude, and a
summary option (at the library level) would be handy.
