Not really sure. Perhaps for organization or soemthing?

Not sure where in /proc (which is Linux specific afaik, tho I'm probably wrong).

"du -hs <dir>" gives the total size of a directory.
"df -h" gives the total free space of all mounted filesystems, can give it
a parameter to get it to show the free space for selected filesystems (like
"df -h /tmp" to get free space for the filesystem where /tmp is located on).

HTH.
