df (coreutils) 5.2.1
User Commands
  • NAME
      df - 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.

      Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
      -a, --all
      include filesystems having 0 blocks -B, --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
      like --block-size=1K
      -l, --local
      limit listing to local filesystems
      --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

      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.
