df(1)
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:
1k-Blocks free used % FUsed% Mounted on
/dev/hd2a 1440 289 1151 80% 33% /
/dev/hd2b 1024 997 27 3% 1% /tmp
/dev/hd2c 130548 72088 58460 45% 44% /usr
The -i option shifts the focus to the files:
Files free used % BUsed% Mounted on
/dev/hd2a 480 326 154 33% 80% /
/dev/hd2b 352 351 1 1% 3% /tmp
/dev/hd2c 16368 9226 7142 44% 45% /usr
Option -P makes df use POSIX defined output in 512 byte units:
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hd2a 2880 2302 578 80% /
/dev/hd2b 2048 54 1994 3% /tmp
/dev/hd2c 261096 116932 144164 45% /usr
With -k 1024 byte units would be used.
The -t option limits df's output to file systems of the given type.
FILES
/etc/mtab List of mounted file systems.
