dfc: Display filesystems containing "ext" in the filesystem type.
$ dfc -t ext
try on your machine

The command "dfc -t ext" is used to display disk usage statistics in a nicely formatted manner, specifically for file systems that use the "ext" file system type.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "dfc": This is the main command that stands for "disk free command". It is typically used as an alternative to the traditional "df" command, offering more visual and informative output.

  • "-t": This is an option or flag that stands for "type". It is followed by the file system type that you want to display disk usage statistics for.

  • "ext": This is an argument that specifies the file system type. In this case, it is "ext", which refers to the extended file system commonly used in Linux distributions.

Overall, executing this command will show you disk usage information using the dfc command, specifically targeted to file systems of type "ext".
