macOS command line tool to return the available disk space on APFS volumes
diskspace
Returns available disk space
With the various APFS features the value for free disk space returned from
tools such as du or df will not be accurate. This tool uses system
functions to get various measures of available disk space.
The ‘Important’ value matches the free disk space value shown in Finder.
