The README emphasizes a C/CMake build, minimal runtime dependencies, translated configuration files, and packager-friendly installation options. ### Adoption history dfc fits the long Unix tradition of disk-usage status tools, but presents filesystem capacity in a more visual terminal format than plain `df`. Its package-manager presence is helped by the README's packager notes and tiny dependency surface. ### How it is used Users run `dfc` to inspect mounted filesystem space and can customize behavior with a `dfcrc` file under XDG config, `$HOME/.config`, or `$HOME/.dfcrc`. ### Why package nerds care Package maintainers care about dfc because it is boring in the best way: a small C utility with standard-library runtime needs, optional gettext translation support, and clear install-time knobs for prefix and sysconfdir. ### Timeline - 2012: v1.0.1 appears in the official tag history. - 2013: v3.0.x releases are tagged. - 2017: v3.1.0 and v3.1.1 are tagged. - 2025: the default branch receives a CMake compatibility fix. ### Related projects - dfc is related to `df`, terminal monitoring utilities, and filesystem capacity-reporting tools that trade detailed per-file analysis for quick mount-level summaries. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dfc/dfcrc, ~/.config/dfc/dfcrc, ~/.dfcrc ## Source Database Details -
