Bug description:  Linux behaviour of function disk_free_space()

Description:
------------
Linux behaviour of disk_free_space() is not fully documented

ref:  http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.disk-free-space.php

The description in the PHP manual states: 

"float disk_free_space ( string $directory )
Given a string containing a directory, this function will return the
number of bytes available on the corresponding filesystem or disk
partition.  "

This is true for Windows, where only a directory name is accepted as
input.  On a Linux system, the function will also accept an existing
filename. 

Please add following text to the description:

"On a Linux system, the function will also accept an existing filename, in
which case it will return the number of bytes remaining in the
corresponding filesystem. "

Example: 

<?php
    // On Linux :
    disk_free_space("/phpwork/tmp.txt") ;      
    //  returns bytes free in filesystem containing tmp.txt 
?>
