DF(1L) REFERENCE MANUAL DF(1L)
NAME
df - show free disk space
SYNOPSIS
df [ -f ] [ -d ] [ -? | -h ] [ d: ]
DESCRIPTION
Df displays a space usage statistic for storage devices. A
storage device is a floppy diskette, a hard disk, a RAM
disk, or any other device you can store your files on. If
you happen to have more than one partition on a storage dev-
ice each partition is reported independently. Drives
'join'ed to another drive's subdirectory are reported with
their real characteristics, unlike MS-D*S 'dir' and 'chkdsk'
command.
The output consists of columns showing total device space
and currently available free space in bytes, amount of free
space expressed in percent of total space, and at last the
drive designator for the device. The following is an example
output:
Total space Free space Drive
362'496 131'072 36% a:
2'060'288 1'155'072 56% c:

OPTIONS
-f By default, floppy diskettes aren't included in the
report for speed reasons. With the '-f' switch you can
cause the program the investigate the floppy or flop-
pies as well. If you don't have a floppy in the drive,
Df continues without an error message.
-d If, for whatever reason, you don't want to include the
harddisks in the output, include the '-d' switch on the
command line.
d: You can direct Df to only display the space statistic
for drive 'd:'.
