NAME

df - display free disk space  

SYNOPSIS

df [-ikn ] [file | filesystem ... ]  

DESCRIPTION

Df displays statistics about the amount of free disk space on the specified filesystem or on the filesystem of which file is a part. If neither a file or a filesystem operand is specified, statistics for all mounted filesystems are displayed.

The following options are available:

-i
Include statistics on the number of free inodes.
-k
By default, all sizes are reported in 512-byte block counts. The -k option causes the numbers to be reported in kilobyte counts.
-n
Print out the previously obtained statistics from the filesystems. This option should be used if it is possible that one or more filesystems are in a state such that they will not be able to provide statistics without a long delay. When this option is specified, df will not request new statistics from the filesystems, but will respond with the possibly stale statistics that were previously obtained.

 

BUGS

The -n flag is ignored if a file or filesystem is specified.
