How to viewing filesystem capacities?


My Linux box and my badly compiled C programming seems to have created a situation where a file has gone out of control and eaten up all the hard disk space, to the point where the X windowing system won't even start up.

First, with what command can you view the amount of space remaining on a file system?
Also, how can I get the system to search for a file in excess of x number of blocks?
