NAME
     df	-- display free	disk space

SYNOPSIS
     df	[--libxo] [-b |	-g | -H	| -h | -k | -m | -P] [-acilnT] [-,] [-t	type]
	[file |	filesystem ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The df utility displays statistics	about the amount of free disk space on
     the specified mounted file	system or on the file system of	which file is
     a part.  By default block counts are displayed with an assumed block size
     of	512 bytes.  If neither a file or a file	system operand is specified,
     statistics	for all	mounted	file systems are displayed (subject to the -t
     option below).

     The following options are available:

     --libxo
	     Generate output via libxo(3) in a selection of different human
	     and machine readable formats.  See	xo_parse_args(3) for details
	     on	command	line arguments.

     -a	     Show all mount points, including those that were mounted with the
	     MNT_IGNORE	flag.  This is implied for file	systems	specified on
	     the command line.

     -b	     Explicitly	use 512	byte blocks, overriding	any BLOCKSIZE specifi-
	     cation from the environment.  This	is the same as the -P option.
	     The -k option overrides this option.

     -c	     Display a grand total.

     -g	     Use 1073741824 byte (1 Gibibyte) blocks rather than the default.
	     This overrides any	BLOCKSIZE specification	from the environment.

     -h	     "Human-readable" output.  Use unit	suffixes: Byte,	Kibibyte,
	     Mebibyte, Gibibyte, Tebibyte and Pebibyte (based on powers	of
	     1024) in order to reduce the number of digits to four or fewer.

     -H, --si
	     Same as -h	but based on powers of 1000.

     -i	     Include statistics	on the number of free and used inodes.	In
	     conjunction with the -h or	-H options, the	number of inodes is
	     scaled by powers of 1000.

     -k	     Use 1024 byte (1 Kibibyte)	blocks rather than the default.	 This
	     overrides the -P option and any BLOCKSIZE specification from the
	     environment.

     -l	     Select locally-mounted file system	for display.  If used in com-
	     bination with the -t type option, file system types will be added
	     or	excluded acccording to the parameters of that option.

     -m	     Use 1048576 byte (1 Mebibyte) blocks rather than the default.
	     This overrides any	BLOCKSIZE specification	from the environment.

     -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	     Explicitly	use 512	byte blocks, overriding	any BLOCKSIZE specifi-
	     cation from the environment.  This	is the same as the -b option.
	     The -k option overrides this option.

     -t	type
	     Select file systems to display.  More than	one type may be	speci-
	     fied in a comma separated list.  The list of file system types
	     can be prefixed with "no" to specify the file system types	for
	     which action should not be	taken.	If used	in combination with
	     the -l option, the	parameters of this option will modify the list
	     of	locally-mounted	file systems selected by the -l	option.	 For
	     example, the df command:

		   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.

     -T	     Include file system type.

     -,	     (Comma) Print sizes grouped and separated by thousands using the
	     non-monetary separator returned by	localeconv(3), typically a
	     comma or period.  If no locale is set, or the locale does not
	     have a non-monetary separator, this option	has no effect.

ENVIRONMENT
     BLOCKSIZE	Specifies the units in which to	report block counts.  This
		uses getbsize(3), which	allows units of	bytes or numbers
		scaled with the	letters	k (for multiples of 1024 bytes), m
		(for multiples of 1048576 bytes) or g (for gibibytes).	The
		allowed	range is 512 bytes to 1	GB.  If	the value is outside,
		it will	be set to the appropriate limit.

EXAMPLES
     Show human	readable free disk space for all mount points including	file
     system type:

	   $ df	-ahT
	   Filesystem	Type	    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
	   /dev/ada1p2	ufs	    213G    152G     44G    78%	   /
	   devfs	devfs	    1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%	   /dev
	   /dev/ada0p1	ufs	    1.8T    168G    1.5T    10%	   /data
	   linsysfs	linsysfs    4.0K    4.0K      0B   100%	   /compat/linux/sys
	   /dev/da0	msdosfs	    7.6G    424M    7.2G     5%	   /mnt/usb

     Show previously collected data including inode statistics except for de-
     vfs or linsysfs file systems.  Note that the "no" prefix affects all the
     file systems in the list and the -t option	can be specified only once:

	   $ df	-i -n -t nodevfs,linsysfs
	   Filesystem	1K-blocks      Used	 Avail Capacity	iused	  ifree	%iused
	   Mounted on
	   /dev/ada1p2	223235736 159618992   45757888	  78% 1657590  27234568	   6%	/
	   /dev/ada0p1 1892163184 176319420 1564470712	  10% 1319710 243300576	   1%
	   /data
	   /dev/da0	  7989888    433664    7556224	   5%	    0	      0	 100%
	   /mnt/usb

     Show human	readable information for the file system containing the	file
     /etc/rc.conf:

	   $ df	-h /etc/rc.conf
	   Filesystem	  Size	  Used	 Avail Capacity	 Mounted on
	   /dev/ada1p2	  213G	  152G	   44G	  78%	 /

     Same as above but specifying some file system:

	   $ df	-h /dev/ada1p2
	   Filesystem	  Size	  Used	 Avail Capacity	 Mounted on
	   /dev/ada1p2	  213G	  152G	   44G	  78%	 /

STANDARDS
     With the exception	of most	options, the df	utility	conforms to IEEE Std
     1003.1-2004 ("POSIX.1"), which defines only the -k, -P and	-t options.

HISTORY
     A df command appeared in Version 1	AT&T UNIX.

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.

     The -b and	-P options are identical.  The former comes from the BSD tra-
     dition, and the latter is required	for IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 ("POSIX.1")
     conformity.
