NAME
     df - show free disk space

SYNOPSIS
     df [ -f ] [ -d ] [ -? | -h ] [ d: ]

DESCRIPTION
     Df displays a space usage statistic for storage  devices.  A
     storage  device  is  a  floppy  diskette, a hard disk, a RAM
     disk, or any other device you can store your  files  on.  If
     you happen to have more than one partition on a storage dev-
     ice  each  partition  is  reported  independently.    Drives
     'join'ed  to  another drive's subdirectory are reported with
     their real characteristics, unlike MS-D*S 'dir' and 'chkdsk'
     command.

     The output consists of columns showing  total  device  space
     and  currently available free space in bytes, amount of free
     space expressed in percent of total space, and at  last  the
     drive designator for the device. The following is an example
     output:
             Total space     Free space            Drive
                 362'496        131'072     36%      a:
               2'060'288      1'155'072     56%      c:
              40'607'744      8'216'576     20%      d:
              67'051'520      5'554'176      8%      e:
              12'976'128      7'417'856     57%      f:
                 518'912        518'912    100%      g:

OPTIONS
     -f   By default, floppy diskettes  aren't  included  in  the
          report  for speed reasons. With the '-f' switch you can
          cause the program the investigate the floppy  or  flop-
          pies  as well. If you don't have a floppy in the drive,
          Df continues without an error message.

     -d   If, for whatever reason, you don't want to include  the
          harddisks in the output, include the '-d' switch on the
          command line.

     d:   You can direct Df to only display the  space  statistic
          for drive 'd:'.
