check free space¶

this is useful if you want to double check before a lengthy procress that there will be enough space on the drive

FREE=`df -k --output=avail "$PWD" | tail -n1`   # df -k not df -h
if [[ $FREE -lt 10485760 ]]; then               # 10G = 10*1024*1024k
     # less than 10GBs free!
fi;
