NAME
Filesys::Statvfs - Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs()
SYNOPSIS
use Filesys::Statvfs; my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail, $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = statvfs("/tmp"); #### Pass an open filehandle. Verify that fileno() returns a defined #### value. If you pass undef to fstatvfs you will get unexpected results my $fd = fileno(FILE_HANDLE); if(defined($fd)) { ($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail, $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = fstatvfs($fd); }
DESCRIPTION
Interface for statvfs() and fstatvfs() Unless you need access to the bsize, flag, and namemax values, you should probably look at using Filesys::DfPortable or Filesys::Df instead. They will generally provide you with more functionality and portability. The module should work with all flavors of Unix that implement the "statvfs()" and "fstatvfs()" calls. This would include Linux, *BSD, HP- UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix, Cygwin, etc ... The "statvfs()" and "fstatvfs()" functions will return a list of values, or will return "undef" and set $! if there was an error. The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the "statvfs()/fstatvfs()" man page. The module assumes that if you have "statvfs()", "fstatvfs()" will also be available.
