4.266 DBA_FREE_SPACE

DBA_FREE_SPACE describes the free extents in all tablespaces in the database.

Note that if a data file (or entire tablespace) is offline in a locally managed tablespace, you will not see any extent information. If an object has extents in an online file of the tablespace, you will see extent information about the offline data file. However, if the object is entirely in the offline file, a query of this view will not return any records.
