df: Display the filesystem and its disk usage containing the given file or directory.
$ df ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command "df" stands for "disk free" and it is used to show information about the available and used disk space on a file system.

In the command "df ${filename_or_directory}", ${filename_or_directory} is a placeholder that represents the name of a file or a directory. You need to replace it with the actual name of the file or directory you want to check the disk space for.

When you execute this command, it will provide information about the disk usage of the file system that contains the specified filename or directory. This includes details such as the total size of the disk, the amount of used space, the available free space, and the percentage of space used.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
