DF(1)                      OpenBSD Reference Manual                      DF(1)

NAME
     df - display free disk space



SYNOPSIS
     df [-hiklnP] [-t type] [[file | file_system] ...]

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 block counts.  If neither a
     file nor a file_system operand is specified, statistics for all mounted
     file systems are displayed (subject to the -l and -t options below).

     The following options are available:

     -h      "Human-readable" output.  Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte,
             Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, Exabyte in order to re-
             duce the number of digits to four or less.

     -i      Include statistics on the number of free inodes.

     -k      By default, all sizes are reported in 512-byte block counts.  The
             -k option causes the numbers to be reported in kilobyte counts.

     -l      Display statistics only about mounted file systems with the
             MNT_LOCAL flag set. If a non-local file system is given as an ar-
             gument, a warning is issued and no information is given on that
             file system.

     -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      Print out information in a stricter format designed to be parsed
             by portable scripts.

     -t type
             Indicate the actions should only be taken on filesystems of the
             specified type. More than one type may be specified in a comma
             separated list.  The list of filesystem types can be prefixed
             with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which action
             should not be taken. If a file system is given on the command
             line that is not of the specified type, a warning is issued and
             no information is given on that file system.

ENVIRONMENT
     BLOCKSIZE  If the environment variable BLOCKSIZE is set, and the -k op-
                tion is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in
                units of that size block.

STANDARDS
     The df utility is compliant with the IEEE Std1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'')
     specification.
