NAME
statvfs, fstatvfs
— get file system
statistics
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/statvfs.h>
int
statvfs(const
char *path, struct
statvfs *buf);
int
fstatvfs(int
fd, struct statvfs
*buf);
DESCRIPTION
statvfs()
returns information about a mounted file system. path
is the path name of any file within the mounted file system.
buf is a pointer to a statvfs
structure defined as follows:
struct statvfs {
unsigned long f_bsize; /* file system block size */
unsigned long f_frsize; /* fundamental file system block size */
fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; /* number of blocks (unit f_frsize) */
fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; /* free blocks in file system */
fsblkcnt_t f_bavail; /* free blocks for non-root */
fsfilcnt_t f_files; /* total file inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; /* free file inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_favail; /* free file inodes for non-root */
unsigned long f_fsid; /* file system id */
unsigned long f_flag; /* bit mask of f_flag values */
unsigned long f_namemax; /* maximum filename length */
};
#define ST_RDONLY 0x0001UL /* read-only filesystem */
#define ST_NOSUID 0x0002UL /* nosuid flag set */
The fields of type fsblkcnt_t are reported in units of f_frsize.
fstatvfs()
returns the same information about an open file referenced by descriptor
fd.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
statvfs() fails if one or more of the
following are true:
- [
ENOTDIR] - A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.
- [
ENAMETOOLONG] - A component of a pathname exceeded
NAME_MAXcharacters, or an entire pathname (including the terminating NUL) exceededPATH_MAXbytes. - [
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.
fstatvfs() fails if one or more of the
following are true:
- [
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.
