I thought I recall a UNIX/Linux command line tool that gives a
breakdown of disk usage by directory, in order of space consumed. It
was a bit more sophisticated than the "ls" command.

What's the name of the tool again?

Most likely, 'du' is what you're looking for. Doing the
following would probably have found it:

man -k file | grep usage

It would have also found the 'df' command, but I'm guessing
'du' is what you want.
