The following options are supported:

−f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused partitions. 

−h Omit the headers from the normal output. 

−s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output. 

−t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab. 

−m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab.

∗     720 sectors/cylinder
∗    2500 cylinders
∗    1151 accessible cylinders
∗
∗ Flags:
