What this snippet does

-s summarises each argument rather than listing every file underneath.

Expected output

3.2G /var/lib
1.1G /var/log

Why practise typing this

Typing disk & filesystem code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Linux uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
