+.\" Please adjust this date whenever revising the manpage.
+.SH NAME
+filelight \- graphically display disk usage
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B filelight
+.RI [ " path " ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBfilelight\fP allows you to understand exactly where your disk space
+is being used by graphically representing your file system as a set
+of concentric segmented rings, where each segment subtends an angle
+proportional to the disk space occupied by that file or directory.
+.PP
+You can specify a directory to scan on startup at the command line eg:
+.nf
+ filelight /home/mxcl
+.fi
+Starting at the root requires a scan of the entire directory tree,
+which may take a while.
+.PP
+\fBfilelight\fP is available in Konqueror under \fBView | View Mode | RadialMap View\fP.
