xdu.c: static void parse_file(char* filename) is faulty

[thomas]

Assuming a directory like '1234_bla', then du -k 1234_bla | xdu would display '_bla' at top level.

This is due to (scanning whitespace and numbers):

        while ((*buff >= '0' && *buff <= '9')
            || (*buff == ' ' || *buff == '\t')) {
            buff++;

A possible fix (scan for non-ws at the beginning, than for ws):

        while (*buff != ' ' && *buff != '\t') { buff++; }
        while (*buff == ' ' || *buff == '\t') { buff++; }

Better. OTOH, sscanf already found the end of number+whitespaces. Position of rest could be captured with "%n"

Addendum: Format string needs an additional " " to skip whitespace. "%lld %n" might do.

with "%n".

Please do not use this as SSID.
