Disk usage
**********

   No disk can hold an infinite amount of data.  These commands report
on how much disk storage is in use or available.  (This has nothing
much to do with how much _main memory_, i.e., RAM, a program is using
when it runs; for that, you want `ps' or `pstat' or `swap' or some such
command.)

df invocation

Report filesystem disk space usage.

du invocation

Estimate file space usage.

sync invocation

Synchronize memory and disk.
