diff

Using DF - Command Line Options

df [ -a drive_1 [ drive_2 ... ] -? ]

If DF is not given an argument, it will print the free space information for the default drive. Otherwise, unless the -a option is specified, DF prints the free space information for each of the supplied arguments.

Example: df a: b: prints the available free space for drives a: and b:.

The options for DF are:

-a: Print free space for all loadable drives.

-?: Display program description.

Note:

If the environment variable DF exists, its value is used to establish default options.

You can override an option that was specified in the environment variable by following the option with a minus '-' sign. For example, to turn off the -a option, specify -a-.

Option -a can be specified twice to restore normal operation, namely, to undo the effect of specifying option -a in the environment variable.
