+[DESCRIPTION]
+This manual page
+documents the GNU version of
+.BR df .
+.B df
+displays the amount of disk space available on the filesystem
+containing each file name argument. If no file name is given, the
+space available on all currently mounted filesystems is shown. Disk
+space is shown in 1K blocks by default, unless the environment
+variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are
+used.
+.PP
+If an argument is the absolute file name of a disk device node containing a
+mounted filesystem,
+.B df
+shows the space available on that filesystem rather than on the
+filesystem containing the device node (which is always the root
+filesystem). This version of
+.B df
+cannot show the space available on unmounted filesystems, because on
+most kinds of systems doing so requires very nonportable intimate
+knowledge of filesystem structures.
