USAGE

You can simply start duf without any command-line arguments:

If you want to list everything (including pseudo, duplicate, inaccessible file systems):

  $ duf --all

You can show and hide specific tables:

  $ duf --only local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds
  $ duf --hide local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds

You can also show and hide specific filesystems:

  $ duf --only-fs tmpfs,vfat
  $ duf --hide-fs tmpfs,vfat

Sort the output:

  $ duf --sort size

  Valid keys are: mountpoint, size, used, avail, usage, inodes, inodes_used, inodes_avail, inodes_usage, type, filesystem.

Show or hide specific columns:

  $ duf --output mountpoint,size,usage

  Valid keys are: mountpoint, size, used, avail, usage, inodes, inodes_used, inodes_avail, inodes_usage, type, filesystem.

List inode information instead of block usage:

  $ duf --inodes

If duf doesn't detect your terminal's colors correctly, you can set a theme:
