  df(8)                               CLIX                               df(8)



  NAME

    df - Reports the number of free disk blocks and inodes

  SYNOPSIS

    df [-l] [-t] [-f] [file-system|directory|mounted-resource]

  FLAGS

    -l   Reports on local file systems.

    -t   Causes the figures for total allocated blocks and inodes to be
         reported along with the free blocks and inodes.

    -f   Produces an actual count of the blocks in the free list, rather than
         taking the figure from the superblock (free inodes are not reported).
         This flag will not display any information about mounted remote
         resources.  This flag only works with S51K file systems or on
         unmounted Fast File Systems (ffs).

  DESCRIPTION

    The df command displays the number of free disk blocks and free inodes in
    mounted file systems, directories, or mounted resources by examining the
    counts kept in the superblocks.

    File-system may be specified either by a device name (for example,
    /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.3) or by a mount point directory name (for example, /usr).

    Directory can be a directory name.  The report presents information for
    the device that contains the directory.

    Mounted-resource can be a remote resource name.  The report presents
    information for the remote device that contains the resource.

    The device or mounted file system can be an fs type file system, in which
    case df displays the information.  If the device is unmounted and is not
    an fs type file system, then df executes the fstyp command, forms a
    pathname from the output, and executes the program so formed.  For
    example, if fstyp reports the file system to be of type ``FFS'', df will
    execute ffsdf.

    If no arguments are used, the free space on all locally and remotely
    mounted file systems is displayed.

  EXAMPLES

    The following reports the free inodes and disk blocks on the /usr file
    system:

    df /usr


  FILES

    /dev/dsk/*

    /etc/mnttab

  NOTES

    If multiple remote resources are listed that reside on the same file
    system on a remote machine, each listing after the first one will be
    marked with an asterisk.

  CAUTIONS

    Problems may occur if a file system or directory whose complete pathname
    is longer than 32 characters is not mounted using /etc/fstab.

  EXIT VALUES

    If unsuccessful, df returns a nonzero exit value.
