# Welcome to pydf!
**pydf** is all-singing, all-dancing, fully colourised `df(1)`-clone
written in Python.
It is written by [Radovan Garabík](https://github.com/garabik)
<garabik @ kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk>.
GitHub is the official new home to **pydf** after
[`kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk`](https://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/software/pydf.html).
# Requirements
**pydf** was written for linux, using specific linux features.
The fact it runs on other systems is pure coincidence,
but neverthless it happens to work on wide range of modern
Unix systems.
# Configuration
System-wide configuration is in `/etc/pydfrc`, per-user
configuration in `~/.pydfrc` (format of these files is the same).
Colours are one of:
- `none`, `default`
- `bold`, `underline`, `blink`, `reverse`, `concealed`
- `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`
- `on_black`, `on_red`, `on_green`, `on_yellow`, `on_blue`, `on_magenta`, `on_cyan`, `on_white`
- `beep`
`on_red` means that the background (instead of foreground) is painted
with red etc...
# Command Line Usage
**pydf** recognizes following parameters:
```console
# COLUMNS=80 pydf --help
usage: pydf [--help] [-v] [-a] [-h] [-H] [-b BLOCKSIZE] [-l] [-k] [-m] [-g]
[--blocks] [--bw] [-S] [--mounts MOUNTS_FILE] [-B] [-i]
[mountpoints ...]
positional arguments:
mountpoints list of mountpoints to display (default: all)
options:
--help show this help message
-v, --version show version
-a, --all include filesystems having 0 blocks
-h, --human-readable print sizes in human readable format (e.g. 1K 234M 2G)
-H, --si likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
-b, --block-size BLOCKSIZE
use BLOCKSIZE-byte blocks
-l, --local limit listing to local filesystems
-k, --kilobytes like --block-size=1024
-m, --megabytes like --block-size=1048576
-g, --gigabytes like --block-size=1073741824
--blocks use filesystem native block size
--bw do not use colours
-S, --scale-bars scale bars to largest disk size
--mounts MOUNTS_FILE File to get mount information from. On normal Linux
systems only /etc/mtab or /proc/mounts make sense.
Some other Unices use /etc/mnttab. Use /proc/mounts
when /etc/mtab is corrupted or inaccessible (the
output looks a bit weird in this case).
-B, --show-binds show 'mount --bind' mounts
-i, --inodes show inode instead of block usage
```
