File.measureDiskUsage

Recursively measures the disk usage of file. This is essentially an analog of the 'du' command, but it also reports the number of directories and non-directory files encountered (including things like symbolic links). By default, errors are only reported against the toplevel file itself. Errors found while recursing are silently ignored, unless G_FILE_DISK_USAGE_REPORT_ALL_ERRORS is given in flags. The returned size, disk_usage, is in bytes and should be formatted with g_format_size() in order to get something reasonable for showing in a user interface. progress_callback and progress_data can be given to request periodic progress updates while scanning. See the documentation for GFileMeasureProgressCallback for information about when and how the callback will be invoked. Since 2.38
