- DESCRIPTION
- Displays the amount of space in bytes used by the objects in a bucket,subdirectory, or project. This command calculates the current space usage bymaking a series of object listing requests, which can take a long time for largebuckets. If your bucket contains hundreds of thousands of objects, or if youwant to monitor your bucket size over time, use Monitoring instead, as describedinGetbucket size
- EXAMPLES
- To list the size of each object in a bucket:
gcloudstoragedugs://bucketnameTo list the size of each object in the prefix subdirectory:
gcloudstoragedugs://bucketname/prefix/*To print the total number of bytes in a bucket in human-readable form:
gcloudstoragedu-cgs://bucketnameTo see a summary of the total number of bytes in two given buckets:
gcloudstoragedu-sgs://bucket1gs://bucket2To list the size of each object in a bucket with Object Versioning enabled,including noncurrent objects:
gcloudstoragedu-ags://bucketnameTo list the size of each object in a bucket, except objects that end in ".bak",with each object printed ending in a null byte:
gcloudstoragedu-e"*.bak"-0gs://bucketnameTo list the size of each bucket in a project and the total size of the project:
gcloudstoragedu--summarize--readable-sizes--total - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
- [
URL…] - The url of objects to list.

- FLAGS
--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE- Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma separated listof key=value pairs, e.g.
header1=value1,header2=value2. Overridesthe defaultstorage/additional_headersproperty value for thiscommand invocation. --all-versions,-a- Includes noncurrent object versions for a bucket with Object Versioning enabled.Also prints the generation and metageneration number for each listed object.
--exclude-name-pattern=EXCLUDE_NAME_PATTERN,-eEXCLUDE_NAME_PATTERN- Exclude a pattern from the report. Example:
-e "*.o"excludes anyobject that ends in ".o". Can be specified multiple times. --exclude-name-pattern-file=EXCLUDE_NAME_PATTERN_FILE,-XEXCLUDE_NAME_PATTERN_FILE- Similar to -e, but excludes patterns from the given file. The patterns toexclude should be listed one per line.
--readable-sizes,-r- Prints object sizes in human-readable format. For example, 1 KiB, 234 MiB, or2GiB.
--summarize,-s- Displays only the summary for each argument.
--total,-c- Includes a total size of all input sources.
--zero-terminator,-0- Ends each output line with a 0 byte rather than a newline. You can use this tomake the output machine-readable.
