I would like to replace my macOS closed-source "df" with one that has one or 
two features I am not skilled enough to code in C.

1) needs to have apfs as one of the filesystem types for -T (Apple's version 
does)

2) needs to be able to exclude or "include only" certain strings in the output 
using regex patterns.  Maybe -v, like egrep has, or -x for "eXclude" (Apple's 
version doesn't)

3) the column spacing should be computed on the filtered output.

4) these features should work on any locale, even utf-8 with characters outside 
of ISOLatin1

The reason for #3 instead of just using a pipe to egrep is that Apple usually 
has mounted a few "snaphots" waiting to be transferred to backup.  Each is a 
locally mounted APFS filesystem with a Filesystem name of 56 characters and a 
mount pount of 106 characters.  Results in output about 150% the width of my 
screen, and I never have any reason to look at those.

I'm sure there's not a high demand for this, but if it were there, I'm sure I'm 
not the only one who would appreciate it.
