# compsize
> Calculate the compression ratio of a set of files on a btrfs filesystem.
> See also `btrfs filesystem` for recompressing a file by defragmenting it.

- Calculate the current compression ratio for a file or directory:
`sudo compsize {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
- Don't traverse filesystem boundaries:
`sudo compsize --one-file-system {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
- Show raw byte counts instead of human-readable sizes:
`sudo compsize --bytes {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
