NAME
df - report on free disk space
SYNOPSIS
df [-ikP] [-t type] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
Df lists the amount of free space on the currently mounted devices (no
arguments), or the devices given as arguments. If the argument is not a
device then the device it resides on is listed.
OPTIONS
Without options, df will give a listing like this:
Filesystem 1k-Blocks free used % FUsed% Mounted on
/dev/c0d0p1s0 1440 635 805 56% 26% /
/dev/c0d0p1s1 32768 32390 378 2% 1% /tmp
/dev/c0d0p1s2 784657 517809 266848 35% 29% /usr
The -i option shifts the focus to the files:
Filesystem Files free used % BUsed% Mounted on
/dev/c0d0p1s0 1024 759 265 26% 56% /
/dev/c0d0p1s1 5472 5468 4 1% 2% /tmp
/dev/c0d0p1s2 65535 46734 18801 29% 35% /usr
Option -P makes df use POSIX defined output in 512 byte units:
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/c0d0p1s0 2880 1628 1252 57% /
/dev/c0d0p1s1 65536 756 64780 2% /tmp
/dev/c0d0p1s2 1569314 533748 1035566 35% /usr
With -k 1024 byte units would be used.
The -t option limits df's output to file systems of the given type.
FILES
