BIFDF(1)

NAME

bifdf − report number of free disk blocks

SYNOPSIS

bifdf [ −t ] [ −f ] [ file-systems ]

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NUCLEUS

Origin: HP

DESCRIPTION

Bifdf prints out the number of free blocks and free i-nodes available for on-line Bell file systems by examining the counts kept in the super-blocks; file-systems may be specified by device name (e.g. /dev/rhd). 

The −t flag causes the total allocated block figures to be reported as well. 

If the −f flag is given, only an actual count of the blocks in the free list is made (free i-nodes are not reported).  With this option, bifdf will report on raw devices. 

HARDWARE DEPENDENCIES

Series 500:
Bifdf can only report on unmounted raw devices.
