The explain_statvfs_on_error function is used to call the statvfs(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_statvfs(3) function, but still returns to the caller. pathname The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the statvfs(2) system call. data The data, exactly as to be passed to the statvfs(2) system call.
