int statvfs(const char *path, struct statvfs *buf); int fstatvfs(int fd, struct statvfs *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The function
statvfs()
returns information about a mounted file system.
path
is the pathname of any file within the mounted file system.
buf
is a pointer to a
statvfs
structure defined approximately as follows:
struct statvfs {
unsigned long f_bsize; /* file system block size */
unsigned long f_frsize; /* fragment size */
fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; /* size of fs in f_frsize units */
fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; /* # free blocks */
fsblkcnt_t f_bavail; /* # free blocks for non-root */
fsfilcnt_t f_files; /* # inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; /* # free inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_favail; /* # free inodes for non-root */
unsigned long f_fsid; /* file system ID */
unsigned long f_flag; /* mount flags */
unsigned long f_namemax; /* maximum filename length */
};
Here the types
fsblkcnt_t
and
fsfilcnt_t
are defined in
<sys/types.h>.
Both used to be
unsigned long.
The field
f_flag
is a bit mask (of mount flags, see
mount(8)).
Bits defined by POSIX are
ST_RDONLY
Read-only file system.
ST_NOSUID
Set-user-ID/set-group-ID bits are ignored by
exec(3).
It is unspecified whether all members of the returned struct
have meaningful values on all file systems.
fstatvfs()
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
EACCES
(statvfs())
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of
path.
(See also
path_resolution(7).)
EBADF
(fstatvfs())
fd
is not a valid open file descriptor.
EFAULT
Buf
or
path
points to an invalid address.
EINTR
This call was interrupted by a signal.
EIO
An I/O error occurred while reading from the file system.
ELOOP
(statvfs())
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
path.
ENAMETOOLONG
(statvfs())
path
is too long.
ENOENT
(statvfs())
The file referred to by
path
does not exist.
ENOMEM
Insufficient kernel memory was available.
ENOSYS
The file system does not support this call.
ENOTDIR
(statvfs())
A component of the path prefix of
path
is not a directory.
EOVERFLOW
Some values were too large to be represented in the returned struct.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
The Linux kernel has system calls
statfs(2)
and
fstatfs(2)
to support this library call.

man-pages
