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. +.SH OPTIONS |
