df(1M) SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS df(1M)
NAME
df (generic) - report number of free disk blocks and files
SYNOPSIS
df [-F FSType] [-begklntV] [current_options] [-o
specific_options] [directory | special | resource...]
DESCRIPTION
df prints the allocation portions of the generic superblock
for mounted or unmounted file systems, directories or
mounted resources. directory represents a valid directory
name. If directory is specified df reports on the device
that contains the directory. special represents a special
device (e.g., /dev/dsk/c1d0s8). resource is an RFS/NFS
resource name. If arguments to df are pathnames, df pro-
duces a report on the file system containing the named file.
current_options are options supported by the s5-specific
module of df. Other FSTypes do not necessarily support
these options. specific_options indicate suboptions speci-
fied in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or
keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-
specific module of the command.
The options are:
-F Specify the FSType on which to operate. This is
only needed if the file system is unmounted. The
FSType should be specified here or be determinable
from /etc/vfstab by matching the mount_point, spe-
cial, or resource with an entry in the table.
-b Print only the number of kilobytes free.
-e Print only the number of files free.
-g Print the entire statvfs structure. Used only for
mounted file systems. Can not be used with
current_options or with the -o option. This
option will override the -b, -e, -k, -n, and -t
options.
-k Print allocation in kilobytes. This option should
be invoked by itself because its output format is
different from that of the other options.
-l Report on local file systems only. Used only for
mounted file systems. Can not be used with
current_options or with the -o option.
-n Print only the FSType name. Invoked with no argu-
ments this option prints a list of mounted file

system types. Used only for mounted file systems.
Can not be used with current_options or with the
-o option.
-t Print full listings with totals. This option will
override the -b, -e, and -n options.
-V Echo the complete command line, but do not execute
the command. The command line is generated by
using the options and arguments provided by the
user and adding to them information derived from
/etc/mnttab or /etc/vfstab. This option should be
used to verify and validate the command line.
-o Specify FSType-specific options.
If no arguments or options are specified, the free space on
all local and remotely mounted file systems is printed.
NOTES
The -F option is intended for use with unmounted file sys-
tems. This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
