# script to quantify the amount of data usage that counts against Edwards lab quota
# should be run in a location with a list of directories (e.g., user directories)
# output is the total size of each directory in human readable format (analogous to du -sh)

# options
# ${1} = can optionally provide a string to limit the search; do not include trailing "/"
# e.g., "A" will quantify all directories beginning with A
