I don't feel this need, though you obviously do.
You could try:

	#!/bin/rc

	du $* | while(s=`{read})
		echo $2

NB: don't use sed or awk, they don't understand the shells
quoting convention for filenames containing frogs.

Re: usage

Rather than doing
	B `{find . --name '*.[ch]' --print}

I do this:

	du -a | grep '\.[ch]$'

find the file I am interested in in the list and plumb it,
I guess its just personal taste.

Plan9 is different and somtimes it needs a different approach.
