For example: tar -c / --one-file-system doesn't traverse into /dev, &c.

It'd be nice to be able to do that in treesize, as well, instead of manually filtering these afterward.

This is more of a question of "would you accept a PR that did this" as opposed to "please implement".

Try running treesize from a directory containing a .git directory:

thread '

' panicked at 'failed printing to stdout: text was not valid unicode', ../src/libstd\io\stdio.rs:626

Using treesize on deeply nested hierarchies or whole disks produces huge, deeply nested output, which is not useful for getting a quick overview.

There should be options to control how the output is displayed.
I can think of a few possibilities:

• limit nesting depth: only expand directories N levels deep - implemented by @nabijaczleweli
• limit entries per directory: show only the M biggest entries

N and M should have some sane defaults, possibly derived from the terminal size.

1.9 stable landed: http://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/05/26/Rust-1.9.html

treesize shouldn't panic if some file or directory cannot be accessed (for any number of reasons - file no longer exists, permission denied...).
Maybe output warnings mentioning the path to stderr, record the size as 0, and move on?

or ignore dotfiles by default and unignore via flag

KB MB GB and other prefixes are stand for 10 power 2, 10 power 3 and so on. It's base 10 prefixes, but your code actually counts base 2 values, so human readable prefixes should be KiB, MiB and so on to display actual values.
