- 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:
- 40'607'744 8'216'576 20% d:
- 67'051'520 5'554'176 8% e:
- 12'976'128 7'417'856 57% f:
- 518'912 518'912 100% g:
-
- 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:'.
