+.TH FILELIGHT 1 "March 14, 2007"
+.\" Please adjust this date whenever revising the manpage.
+.SH NAME
+filelight \- graphically display disk usage
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B filelight
+.RI [ " path " ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBfilelight\fP allows you to understand exactly where your disk space
+is being used by graphically representing your file system as a set
+of concentric segmented rings, where each segment subtends an angle
+proportional to the disk space occupied by that file or directory.
+.PP
+You can specify a directory to scan on startup at the command line eg:
+.nf
+ filelight /home/mxcl
+.fi
+Starting at the root requires a scan of the entire directory tree,
+which may take a while.
+.PP
+\fBfilelight\fP is available in Konqueror under \fBView | View Mode | RadialMap View\fP.
+.SH RUN-TIME COMMANDS
+
+.TP
+.B Hover over segments
+to find out more about the region of the file system it represents.
+.TP
+.B Click on directories
+to see them in more detail (recenter the
+display on that directory).

+to open files/directories with Konqueror.
+.TP
