ustat(2)


NAME

   ustat - get filesystem statistics

SYNOPSIS

   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <unistd.h>    /* libc[45] */
   #include <ustat.h>     /* glibc2 */

   int ustat(dev_t dev, struct ustat *ubuf);

DESCRIPTION

   ustat()  returns  information  about  a  mounted  filesystem.  dev is a
   device number identifying a device  containing  a  mounted  filesystem.
   ubuf  is  a  pointer  to  a ustat structure that contains the following
   members:

       daddr_t f_tfree;      /* Total free blocks */
       ino_t   f_tinode;     /* Number of free inodes */
       char    f_fname[6];   /* Filsys name */
       char    f_fpack[6];   /* Filsys pack name */

   The last two fields, f_fname and f_fpack, are not implemented and  will
   always be filled with null bytes ('\0').

RETURN VALUE

   On success, zero is returned and the ustat structure pointed to by ubuf
   will be filled in.   On  error,  -1  is  returned,  and  errno  is  set
   appropriately.

ERRORS

   EFAULT ubuf points outside of your accessible address space.

   EINVAL dev does not refer to a device containing a mounted filesystem.

   ENOSYS The  mounted  filesystem referenced by dev does not support this
          operation, or any version of Linux before 1.3.16.

CONFORMING TO

   SVr4.

NOTES

   ustat() is deprecated and has been  provided  only  for  compatibility.
   All new programs should use statfs(2) instead.

   HP-UX notes
   The  HP-UX  version  of  the  ustat  structure has an additional field,
   f_blksize,  that  is  unknown  elsewhere.   HP-UX   warns:   For   some
   filesystems,   the  number  of  free  inodes  does  not  change.   Such
   filesystems  will  return  -1  in  the  field   f_tinode.    For   some
   filesystems,  inodes  are dynamically allocated.  Such filesystems will
   return the current number of free inodes.
