  • This command works on any unix/POSIX system, not just Linux. It even works on Windows provided you have any unix/POSIX compatibility package installed (Services For Unix, Cygwin, msys, GNUwin32, UWIN, ...)

  • For the unix-unitiated: this command lists the number of files under $DIR for each extension; the output is sorted by decreasing count.
