NAME
df - report file system 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 file system containing each file name argument. If no file
name is given, the space available on all currently mounted file systems 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
file system, df shows the space available on that file system rather than on the file
system containing the device node (which is always the root file system). This ver-
sion of df cannot show the space available on unmounted file systems, because on most
kinds of systems doing so requires very nonportable intimate knowledge of file system
structures.
OPTIONS
Show information about the file system on which each FILE resides, or all file systems
by default.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --all
include dummy file systems
-B, --block-size=SIZE
use SIZE-byte blocks
--direct
show statistics for a file instead of mount point
--total
produce a grand total
-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 like --block-size=1K
-l, --local
limit listing to local file systems
--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 file systems of type TYPE
-T, --print-type
print file system type
-x, --exclude-type=TYPE
limit listing to file systems not of type TYPE
-v (ignored)
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from --block-size, and the
DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE environment variables. Otherwise, units
default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: KB 1000, K
1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
