NAME
df - report filesystem disk space usage
SYNOPSIS
df [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of df. df dis-
plays the amount of disk space available on the filesystem
containing each file name argument. If no file name is
given, the space available on all currently mounted
filesystems is shown. Disk space is shown in 1K blocks by
default, unless the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT
is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are used.
If an argument is the absolute file name of a disk device
node containing a mounted filesystem, df shows the space
available on that filesystem rather than on the filesystem
containing the device node (which is always the root
filesystem). This version of df cannot show the space
available on unmounted filesystems, because on most kinds
of systems doing so requires very nonportable intimate
knowledge of filesystem structures.
OPTIONS
Show information about the filesystem on which each FILE
resides, or all filesystems by default.
-a, --all
include filesystems having 0 blocks
--block-size=SIZE
use SIZE-byte blocks
-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M
2G)
-H, --si
likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
-i, --inodes
list inode information instead of block usage
-k, --kilobytes
like --block-size=1024
-l, --local
limit listing to local filesystems
-m, --megabytes
like --block-size=1048576
--no-sync
do not invoke sync before getting usage info
(default)
-P, --portability
use the POSIX output format
--sync invoke sync before getting usage info
-t, --type=TYPE
limit listing to filesystems of type TYPE
-T, --print-type
print filesystem type
-x, --exclude-type=TYPE
limit listing to filesystems not of type TYPE
-v (ignored)
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
