statvfs, fstatvfs - Gets file system information SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/statvfs.h> int statvfs ( const char *path, struct statvfs *buffer ); int fstatvfs ( int file_descriptor, struct statvfs *buffer ); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: fstatvfs(): POSIX.1, XSH5.0 statvfs(): POSIX.1, XSH5.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. PARAMETERS
Specifies any file within the mounted file system. Specifies a file descriptor obtained by a successful open() or fcntl() function. Points to a statvfs buffer to hold the returned information for the statvfs() or fstatvfs() function. DESCRIPTION
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions return descriptive information about a mounted file system. The returned information is in the for- mat of a statvfs structure, which is defined in the sys/statvfs.h header file. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, either function returns 0 (zero). Otherwise, it returns -1, sets errno to indicate the error. If the statvfs() function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values: Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix [Tru64 UNIX] The requested address is invalid. An I/O error occurred while reading the file system. A signal was caught during execution of the function. [Tru64 UNIX] The value returned by statvfs is invalid. Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat- ing the path parameter detected. The length of a component of the path parameter exceeds NAME_MAX characters, or the length of the path parameter exceeds PATH_MAX characters. The file referred to by the path parameter does not exist. A component of the path prefix of the path parameter is not a directory. If the fstatvfs() function fails, errno may be set to the following values: The file descriptor parameter is not a valid file descriptor. [Tru64 UNIX] The requested address is invalid. [Tru64 UNIX] The value returned by fstatvfs is invalid. RELATED INFORMATION

STATVFS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STATVFS(3) NAME
fstatvfs, statvfs -- retrieve file system information LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/statvfs.h> int fstatvfs(int fildes, struct statvfs *buf); int statvfs(const char *restrict path, struct statvfs *restrict buf); DESCRIPTION
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions attempt to fill the structure pointed to by buf with file system statistics, but portable applications must not depend on this. Applications must pass a pathname or file descriptor which refers to a file on the file system in which they are interested. The statvfs structure contains the following members: f_namemax The maximum length in bytes of a file name on this file system. Applications should use pathconf(2) instead. f_fsid Not meaningful in this implementation. f_frsize The size in bytes of the minimum unit of allocation on this file system. (This corresponds to the f_bsize member of struct statfs.) f_bsize The preferred length of I/O requests for files on this file system. (Corresponds to the f_iosize member of struct statfs.) f_flag Flags describing mount options for this file system; see below. In addition, there are three members of type fsfilcnt_t, which represent counts of file serial numbers (i.e., inodes); these are named f_files, f_favail, and f_ffree, and represent the number of file serial numbers which exist in total, are available to unprivileged pro- cesses, and are available to privileged processes, respectively. Likewise, the members f_blocks, f_bavail, and f_bfree (all of type fsblkcnt_t) represent the respective allocation-block counts. There are two flags defined for the f_flag member: ST_RDONLY The file system is mounted read-only. ST_NOSUID The semantics of the S_ISUID and S_ISGID file mode bits are not supported by, or are disabled on, this file system. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions are implemented as wrappers around the statfs() and fstatfs() functions, respectively. Not all the information provided by those functions is made available through this interface. RETURN VALUES
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions return the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The statvfs() function fails if one or more of the following are true: [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of 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. [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path. [ENAMETOOLONG] The length of a component of path exceeds {NAME_MAX} characters, or the length of path exceeds {PATH_MAX} characters. [ENOENT] The file referred to by path does not exist. [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix of Path is not a directory. The fstatvfs() functions fails if one or more of the following are true: [EBADF] fildes 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. SEE ALSO
statfs(2) STANDARDS
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). As standardized, portable applications cannot depend on these functions returning any valid information at all. This implementation attempts to provide as much useful information as is provided by the underlying file system, subject to the limitations of the specified data types. AUTHORS
