STATFS(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 STATFS(2)



NAME
       statfs, fstatfs - get file system statistics

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/vfs.h>

       int statfs(const char *path, struct statfs *buf);
       int fstatfs(int fd, struct statfs *buf);

DESCRIPTION
       statfs  returns  information  about a mounted file system.  path is the
       path name of any file within the mounted filesystem.  buf is a  pointer
       to a statfs structure defined as follows:

              struct statfs {
                 long    f_type;     /* type of filesystem (see below) */
                 long    f_bsize;    /* optimal transfer block size */
                 long    f_blocks;   /* total data blocks in file system */
                 long    f_bfree;    /* free blocks in fs */
                 long    f_bavail;   /* free blocks avail to non-superuser */
                 long    f_files;    /* total file nodes in file system */
                 long    f_ffree;    /* free file nodes in fs */
                 fsid_t  f_fsid;     /* file system id */
                 long    f_namelen;  /* maximum length of filenames */
                 long    f_spare[6]; /* spare for later */
              };

       Fields  that  are  undefined for a particular file system are set to 0.
       fstatfs returns the same information about an open file  referenced  by
       descriptor fd.

RETURN VALUE
       On  success,  zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
       set appropriately.

ERRORS
       For statfs:

       ENOTDIR
              A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.

       ENAMETOOLONG
              path is too long.

       ENOENT The file referred to by path does not exist.

       EACCES Search permission is denied for a component of the  path  prefix
              of path.

       ELOOP  Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path.

       EFAULT Buf or path points to an invalid address.

       EIO    An  I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file
              system.

       ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.

       ENOSYS The filesystem path is on does not support statfs.

       For fstatfs:

       EBADF  fd is not a valid open file descriptor.

       EFAULT buf points to an invalid address.

       EIO    An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the  file
              system.

       ENOSYS The filesystem fd is open on does not support statfs.

CONFORMING TO
       The  Linux  statfs  was inspired by the 4.4BSD one (but they do not use
       the same structure).
