# dirsize.py: Directory Size Summary Script
#
#  Description:
#  This script displays a detailed list of files and directories in the
#  specified directory (or the current directory if none is specified),
#  including hidden files, and calculates the total size of these files
#  in human-readable format (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB, YiB, RiB, QiB).
#  It's useful for quickly estimating the size of contents in a directory
#  without including subdirectories. The script does not recursively account
#  for sizes within subdirectories and is designed for simplicity, providing
#  a clear overview of the immediate directory contents.
