DF (1)

report filesystem disk space usage

SYNOPSIS

    df [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

    This manual page documents the GNU version of df . df displays 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
