 Now paste that URL into your web browser, and you will be shown a graphical representation of the disk usage in \fB/home/fred\fP and its immediate subdirectories, with varying colours used to show the difference between disused and recently-accessed data.

When you\*(Aqve finished browsing, you can just press Ctrl-D to send an end-of-file indication to \fBagedu\fP, and it will shut down.

 .IP "\fB-D\fP or \fB--dump\fP"
 In this mode, \fBagedu\fP reads an existing index file and produces a dump of its contents on standard output. This dump can later be loaded into a new index file, perhaps on another computer.
 .IP "\fB-L\fP or \fB--load\fP"
 In this mode, \fBagedu\fP expects to read a dump produced by the \fB-D\fP option from its standard input. It constructs an index file from that dump, exactly as it would have if it had read the same data from a disk scan in \fB-s\fP mode.

 (The output will not be exactly \fIidentical\fP, due to a difference in treatment of last-access times on directories. However, it should be effectively equivalent for most purposes. See the documentation of the \fB--dir-atime\fP option in the next section for further detail.)

 The faking of atimes on directories also requires a processing pass over the index file after the main disk scan is complete. \fB--dir-atime\fP also turns this pass off. Hence, this option affects the \fB-L\fP option as well as \fB-s\fP and \fB-S\fP.

-(The previous section mentioned that there might be subtle differences between the output of \fBagedu -s /path -D\fP and \fBagedu -S /path\fP. This is why. Doing a scan with \fB-s\fP and then dumping it with \fB-D\fP will dump the fully faked atimes on the directories, whereas doing a scan-to-dump with \fB-S\fP will dump only \fIpartially\fP faked atimes - specifically, each directory\*(Aqs last modification time - since the subsequent processing pass will not have had a chance to take place. However, loading either of the resulting dump files with \fB-L\fP will perform the atime-faking processing pass, leading to the same data in the index file in each case. In normal usage it should be safe to ignore all of this complexity.)

 .IP "\fB--mtime\fP"
 This option causes \fBagedu\fP to index files by their last modification time instead of their last access time. You might want to use this if your last access times were completely useless for some reason: for example, if you had recently searched every file on your system, the system would have lost all the information about what files you hadn\*(Aqt recently accessed before then. Using this option is liable to be less effective at finding genuinely wasted space than the normal mode (that is, it will be more likely to flag things as disused when they\*(Aqre not, so you will have more candidates to go through by hand looking for data you don\*(Aqt need), but may be better than nothing if your last-access times are unhelpful.

 In certain circumstances, \fBagedu\fP can report false positives (reporting files as disused which are in fact in use) as well as the more benign false negatives (reporting files as in use which are not). This arises when a file is, semantically speaking, `read' without actually being physically \fIread\fP. Typically this occurs when a program checks whether the file\*(Aqs mtime has changed and only bothers re-reading it if it has; programs which do this include \fBrsync\fP(\fI1\fP) and \fBmake\fP(\fI1\fP). Such programs will fail to update the atime of unmodified files despite depending on their continued existence; a directory full of such files will be reported as disused by \fBagedu\fP but deleting them will cause trouble.
