NAME

     df -- display free disk space

SYNOPSIS

     df [-b | -g | -H | -h | -k | -m | -P] [-aciln] [-t type]
	[file | filesystem ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The df utility displays statistics about the amount of free disk space on
     the specified file system or on the file system of which file is a part.
     Values are displayed in 512-byte per block counts.  If neither a file or
     a file system operand is specified, statistics for all mounted file sys-
     tems are displayed (subject to the -t option below).

     The following options are available:

     -a      Show all mount points, including those that were mounted with the
	     MNT_IGNORE flag.

     -b      Use 512-byte blocks rather than the default.  Note that this
	     overrides the BLOCKSIZE specification from the environment.

     -c      Display a grand total.

     -g      Use 1073741824-byte (1-Gbyte) blocks rather than the default.
	     Note that this overrides the BLOCKSIZE specification from the
	     environment.

     -H      "Human-readable" output.  Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte,
	     Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte in order to reduce the
	     number of digits to four or fewer using base 10 for sizes.

     -h      "Human-readable" output.  Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte,
	     Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte in order to reduce the
	     number of digits to four or fewer using base 2 for sizes.

     -i      Include statistics on the number of free inodes.

     -k      Use 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks rather than the default.  Note
	     that this overrides the BLOCKSIZE specification from the environ-
	     ment.

     -l      Only display information about locally-mounted file systems.

     -m      Use 1048576-byte (1-Mbyte) blocks rather than the default.  Note
	     that this overrides the BLOCKSIZE specification from the environ-
	     ment.

     -n      Print out the previously obtained statistics from the file sys-
	     tems.  This option should be used if it is possible that one or
	     more file systems 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 file sys-
	     tems, but will respond with the possibly stale statistics that
	     were previously obtained.

     -P      Use POSIX compliant output of 512-byte blocks rather than the

		   df -t nonfs,nullfs

	     lists all file systems except those of type NFS and NULLFS.  The
	     lsvfs(1) command can be used to find out the types of file sys-
	     tems that are available on the system.

ENVIRONMENT

     BLOCKSIZE	If the environment variable BLOCKSIZE is set, the block counts
		will be displayed in units of that size block.

BUGS

     The -n flag is ignored if a file or file system is specified.  Also, if a
     mount point is not accessible by the user, it is possible that the file
     system information could be stale.
