ReZero-Storage-Analyzer
Light-weight program that tracks and identifies the storage size change of a target directory overtime.
Initialization
To initialize the data required for comparison, first run the program without providing any arguments. The program will automatically analyze the given directory and records the data in a log file based on the date and time of the run.
Example record filename: 2020-05-14_log.tsv
Disk Space Change Analysis
To obtain the storage size change of a target directory, run the program with argument one as the log file's name to compare to.
For example, if I would like to compare the current directory size with a record from April 4th, 2021, the following command would be executed:
py -3.x main.py 2021-04-04_log.tsv
python3 main.py 2021-04-04_log.tsvOutput
The output result will be stored in a file named result.tsv. This file contains the storage size change of the target directory provided from the previous step.
