  "github_readme_excerpt": "# README\n\n`dfc` is a tool to report file system space usage information. When the output\nis a terminal, it uses color and graphs by default. It has a lot of features\nsuch as HTML, JSON and CSV export, multiple filtering options, the ability to\nshow mount options and so on.\n\n![screenshot](res/screenshot.png)\n\n## BUILD\n\n`cmake` is required to build `dfc`. For convenience, a simple `Makefile` (which\ncalls `cmake` under the hood) is provided.\n\nI suggest you create a `build` directory in which you compile `dfc`. This is of\ncourse not required but it will prevent files from being created everywhere in\nthe source folder.\n\n### BUILD STEPS\n\nCreate the build directory:\n\n\tmkdir build\n\nNavigate into it:\n\n\tcd build\n\nRun the `cmake` command to generate a `Makefile` that works for your OS:\n\n\tcmake ..\n\nNow you can use the make command to build `dfc`:\n\n\tmake\n\nThe `dfc` binary will be placed into a `bin` sub-directory.\n\n### BUILD OPTIONS\n\nSeveral options can be tweaked before you compile `dfc`. To activate /\ndeactivate or change them, you need to do it at the `cmake` step. Note that you\nmay also use `ccmake` instead which gives you a `curses` interface to tweak the\noptions.\n\nBy default, translations are enabled. They require `gettext` to be installed on\nthe system. You can however easily disable them in which case no translations\nnor language translated configuration files will be installed.\n\n\tcmake .. -DNLS_ENABLED=false\n\n`dfc` has also the `LFS` option enabled by default. This option activates\ncompile flags in order to support listing of large file systems (over 4G) on\n32-bit hosts. This will not harm 64-bit systems if activated but if you feel the\nneed to deactivate it, use the following:\n\n    cmake .. -DLFS_ENABLED=false\n\nDifferent types of build are available. Most people will only care about\n`RELEASE` which is the build type that shall be used when distributing the\nsoftware as binary or installing it as it adds some optimization flags.\nTo enable `RELEASE` build use the followin",
