-
- Purpose
- display bytes free on disk
-
- Syntax
- df [d]
-
- Comments
- Df displays the number of bytes free on the specified disk drive, or on
- the current drive if none is specified.
-
- Df is a companion to ls, which, unlike the MS-DOS dir command, does not
- show the bytes free on the disk since often, on hard disks, determining
- the free bytes takes several extra seconds. Likewise, listing the whole
- directory wastes time if you only want to know the free space; thus the
- separate commands.
