Disk space available 1

[YO123]

What command do I use to I see 'just a number' of disk space available?

I'm writing an installation script and want to test if the directory/volume entered as installation directory has enough space to put all the files. The amount of space needed is known.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

YO

If, for example, I wanted to know how many kb were free in /usr, I would do:

df -k /usr | tail -1 | awk '{print $3}'
