i find the following little shell script saves typing; i use
it all the time,

e.g.
grep '^menuhit' `{find /sys/src/lib* '\.c$'}


% cat /bin/find
#!/bin/rc
if (~ $#* 1 0) {
	echo 'usage: find <dir>... <re>' >[1=2]
	exit usage
}
a=()
while (! ~ $#* 1) {
	a=($a $1)
	shift
}
du -a $a | sed 's/^[^ 	]*[ 	]//' | grep $1
