Ubuntu Manpage: dfc - report file system space usage information with style

NAME

       dfc - report file system space usage information with style

SYNOPSIS

       dfc [OPTION(S)] [-c WHEN] [-e FORMAT] [-p FSNAME] [-q SORTBY] [-t FSTYPE] [-u UNIT]

DESCRIPTION

       dfc(1)  is a tool similar to df(1) except that it is able to show a graph along with the data and is able
       to use color (color mode is "color-auto" by default but you can change this with "-c" option).

       The available size corresponds to the space available from a user point  of  view  and  not  from  root's
       perspective (ie: use f_bavail instead of f_bfree).

       Without   any  argument,  size  is  displayed  in  human-readable  format.   Be  aware  that  when  using
       human-readable format, there might be some  rounding  when  computing  the  size.  If  you  want  maximum
       precision, use the "-u" option and choose the unit.

       dfc(1) also has a built in feature that makes the output auto adjust based on terminal width. If you want
       to override this behavior, use the "-f" option.

OPTIONS

-a Show all (do not omit any file system).

-b Do not show the graph bar.

-c [WHEN]
Choose color mode where WHEN is one of the following sub-option:

"always": Color will always be used, no matter what "stdout" is.

"auto": This is default when "-c" is not activated. Color is used only if "stdout" is a terminal.
For instance, color will be disabled with this option if you pipe the output of dfc(1) into
another command.

"never": Color will never be used.

-d Show used size.

-e [FORMAT]
Allows you to export dfc(1) output to specified FORMAT. FORMAT is one of the following:

"csv": Output as "comma separated value" file type. Example usage:

dfc -e csv > foo.csv

"html": Output is HTML formated. Example usage:

dfc -e html -Tadiso -c always > index.html

"json": Output is JSON formated. Example usage:

dfc -e json -Tisod > report.json

"tex": Output is TeX formated. Example usage:

dfc -e tex -c always > report.tex

"text": Text output (default).

-f Override auto-adjust behavior by forcing information to be displayed. This option can be useful
when redirecting dfc(1) output.

-h Show a short help text.

-i Show information about inodes.

-l Only show information about locally mount file systems.

-m Use SI units (metric) (ie: size is computed using powers of 10 instead of powers of 2).

-M Do not print "mounted on".

-n Do not print header.

-o Show mount options.

-p [FSNAME]
Allows you to perform filtering on file system name. FSNAME can be anything. For instance, if you
want to see only file system which name starts with "/dev", you would use the following:

dfc -p /dev

This will output only file systems which names are, for instance, "/dev/sda1", "/dev/root",
"/dev", etc.

Multiple selection is supported. In this case, FSNAME needs to be a comma separated list (without
spaces). For instance, if you want to filter "/dev" and "tmpfs", you would use the following:

dfc -p /dev,tmpfs

You can also use negative matching to filter the output. To do so, you just need to prepend a "-"
to FSNAME. In the following example, dfc(1) will display all file system names except those
mentioned:

dfc -p -proc,/dev/sdc,run

-q [SORTBY]
Allows you to sort the output based on SORTBY.

SORTBY can take one of those three values: "name", "type", "mount".

When using "name", the output is sorted by file system name. When using "type", the output is
sorted by file system type. When using "mount", the output is sorted by mount points.

-s Sum the total usage.

-t [FSTYPE]
Allows you to perform filtering on file system type. FSTYPE could take any known file system
value. For instance, "ext4", "ufs", "tmpfs", "reiserfs", etc. You can also use wildcard
filtering, just as with the -p option. For instance, if you use the following:

dfc -t ext

This will allow any file system type with name starting with "ext" to pass through the filter, for
instance, "ext2", "ext3" and "ext4".

Multiple selection on file system is also possible. In this case, FSTYPE needs to be a comma
separated list (without spaces). For instance, if you want to filter "ext4" and "tmpfs", you would
use the following:

dfc -t ext4,tmpfs

You can also use negative matching to filter the output. To do so, you just need to prepend a "-"
to FSTYPE. In the following example, dfc(1) will display all file system types except those
mentioned:

dfc -t -rootfs,tmpfs

-T Show file system type.

-u [UNIT]
Show size using the unit specified. UNIT can take one of the following values:

"h": Human readable (default when not using "-u" option).

"b": Show bytes.

"k": Show size using Kio.

"m": Show size using Mio.

"g": Show size using Gio.

"t": Show size using Tio.

"p": Show size using Pio.

"e": Show size using Eio.

"z": Show size using Zio.

"y": Show size using Yio.

NOTE: When using "-u" option along with "-m" option, those suboptions are replaced by their SI
counterparts.

-v Print dfc(1) version and exit.

-w Use a wider bar for the graph.

-W Wide path name (avoid truncation of file name). May require a larger display.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       The  configuration  file  is  optional. It allows you to change dfc(1) default colors, values when colors
       change and graph symbol in text mode and modify colors used in html export.

       If you want to use it, place it here:

            $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dfc/dfcrc

       If your operating system does not support XDG Base Directory Specification,  it  should  then  be  placed
       here:

            $HOME/.config/dfc/dfcrc

       Or, last choice:

            $HOME/.dfcrc

       NOTE:  The  last  two  choices  can  be  chosen  only  if  your  OS  does  not support XDG Base Directory
       Specification.
