NAME
     df - report file system space usage

SYNOPSIS
     df [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
     This  manual  page documents the GNU version of df.  df displays the amount
     of space available on the file system containing each file  name  argument.
     If no file name is given, the space available on all currently mounted file
     systems is shown.	Space is shown in 1K blocks by default, unless the envi-
     ronment  variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are
     used.

     If an argument is the absolute file name of  a  device  node  containing  a
     mounted  file  system,  df  shows	the  space available on that file system
     rather than on the file system containing the device node.  This version of
     df cannot show the space available on unmounted file  systems,  because  on
     most  kinds of systems doing so requires non-portable intimate knowledge of
     file system structures.

OPTIONS
     Show information about the file system on which each FILE resides,  or  all
     file systems by default.

     Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

     -a, --all
	    include pseudo, duplicate, inaccessible file systems

     -B, --block-size=SIZE
	    scale  sizes  by SIZE before printing them; e.g., '-BM' prints sizes
	    in units of 1,048,576 bytes; see SIZE format below

     -h, --human-readable
	    print sizes in powers of 1024 (e.g., 1023M)

     -H, --si
	    print sizes in powers of 1000 (e.g., 1.1G)

     -i, --inodes
	    list inode information instead of block usage

     -k     like --block-size=1K

     -l, --local
	    limit listing to local file systems

     --no-sync
	    do not invoke sync before getting usage info (default)

     --output[=FIELD_LIST]
	    use the output format defined by FIELD_LIST, or print all fields  if
	    FIELD_LIST is omitted

     -P, --portability
	    use the POSIX output format

     --sync
	    invoke sync before getting usage info

     --total
	    elide  all	entries  insignificant to available space, and produce a
	    grand total

     -t, --type=TYPE
	    limit listing to file systems of type TYPE

     -T, --print-type
	    print file system type

     -x, --exclude-type=TYPE
	    limit listing to file systems not of type TYPE

     -v     (ignored)

     --help
	    display this help and exit

     --version
	    output version information and exit

     Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from  --block-size,
     and  the  DF_BLOCK_SIZE,  BLOCK_SIZE  and	BLOCKSIZE environment variables.
     Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set).

     The SIZE argument	is  an	integer  and  optional	unit  (example:  10K  is
     10*1024).	 Units	are  K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q  (powers  of 1024) or KB,MB,...
     (powers of 1000).	Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M,  and  so
     on.

     FIELD_LIST  is  a	comma-separated  list  of columns to be included.  Valid
     field names are: 'source', 'fstype', 'itotal', 'iused', 'iavail', 'ipcent',
     'size', 'used', 'avail', 'pcent', 'file' and 'target' (see info page).
