## How does it work?

Given a path on your hard-drive (which could also be the root path, eg. `/`). `diskonaut` scans it and indexes its metadata to memory so that you could explore its contents (even while still scanning!).

Once completed, you can navigate through subfolders, getting a visual treemap representation of what's taking up your disk space. You can even delete files or folders and `diskonaut` will track how much space you've freed up in this session.
