Description

Space displays some information about all disk drives. It will display the type, either Local or Remote (a network drive), the file system type, the volume label, the total disk size and the available amount of free disk space. It will also list the total size and the total free disk space of all disks.

This is a typical example:

Type       System  Label                Total      Free

-c Colour warning display

The default operation of the -g switch is to display a bar graph of the disk usage. The bar is displayed in bright green.

The -c switch modifies this default behaviour to include colour warning information in the colour of the bar graph. The colours are broken down into the following bands:

% Full

Colour of Bar Graph

0 - 75%

Green

76 - 89%

Yellow

90 - 100%

Red

Note : This switch is only meaningful with the -g switch.

-g Graphic representation

The default mode of Space is to list the total and free sizes in numbers. This switch shows you a bar graph indicating how much of the disk is used.

-p Pause between graphic screens

Because the -g switch may produce many screen fulls of information, this switch prompts you to press a key between each drive as it is listed.
