The command displays the number of free 512-byte blocks and free inodes available for file systems by examining the counts kept in the superblock or superblocks. If a special or a directory is not specified, the free space on all mounted file systems is displayed. If the arguments to are path names, reports on the file systems containing the named files. If the argument to is a special of an unmounted file system, the free space in the unmounted file system is displayed. Options recognizes the following options: Report only the number of kilobytes (KB) free. Report the total number of blocks allocated for swapping to the file system as well as the number of blocks free for swapping to the file system. This option is supported on HFS file systems only. Report the number of files free. Report only the actual count of the blocks in the free list (free inodes are not reported). When this option is specified, reports on raw devices. Report only on the FStype file system type (see fstyp(1M)). For the purposes of this manual entry, FStype can be one of and for the CDFS, HFS, and NFS file systems, respectively. Report the entire structure described in statvfs(2). Report the total number of inodes, the number of free inodes, number of used inodes, and the percentage of inodes in use. Report the allocation in kilobytes (KB). Report on local file systems only. Report the file system name. If used with no other options, display a list of mounted file system types. Specify options specific to the HFS file system type. specific_options is a comma-separated list of suboptions. The available suboption is: Report the number of used and free inodes.
