NAME
statvfs, fstatvfs − get filesystem statistics
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/statvfs.h>
int
statvfs(const char *path, struct statvfs
*buf);
int fstatvfs(int fd, struct statvfs
*buf);
DESCRIPTION
The function statvfs() returns information about a mounted filesystem. path is the pathname of any file within the mounted filesystem. buf is a pointer to a statvfs structure defined approximately as follows:
struct statvfs
{
unsigned long f_bsize; /* filesystem 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 unprivileged users
*/
fsfilcnt_t f_files; /* # inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; /* # free inodes */
fsfilcnt_t f_favail; /* # free inodes for unprivileged users
*/
unsigned long f_fsid; /* filesystem 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 filesystem.
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 filesystems.
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 filesystem. | ||
|
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 filesystem 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.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading
(see pthreads(7))
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions are
thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
The Linux kernel has system calls statfs(2) and fstatfs(2) to support this library call.
The current glibc implementations of
pathconf(path,
_PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN);
pathconf(path, _PC_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN);
pathconf(path, _PC_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE);
respectively use the f_frsize, f_frsize, and f_bsize fields of the return value of statvfs(path,buf).
