STATFS(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 STATFS(2)

NAME
       statfs, fstatfs - get file system statistics
SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/vfs.h>    /* or <sys/statfs.h> */
       int statfs(const char *path, struct statfs *buf);
       int fstatfs(int fd, struct statfs *buf);
DESCRIPTION
       The  function statfs() returns information about a mounted file system.
       path is the pathname of any file within the mounted file  system.   buf
       is a pointer to a statfs structure defined approximately as follows:
           #if __WORDSIZE == 32          /* System word size */
           # define __SWORD_TYPE           int
           #else /* __WORDSIZE == 64 */
           # define __SWORD_TYPE         long int
           #endif
           struct statfs {
               __SWORD_TYPE f_type;    /* type of file system (see below) */
               __SWORD_TYPE f_bsize;   /* optimal transfer block size */
               fsblkcnt_t   f_blocks;  /* total data blocks in file system */
               fsblkcnt_t   f_bfree;   /* free blocks in fs */
               fsblkcnt_t   f_bavail;  /* free blocks available to
                                          unprivileged user */
               fsfilcnt_t   f_files;   /* total file nodes in file system */
               fsfilcnt_t   f_ffree;   /* free file nodes in fs */
               fsid_t       f_fsid;    /* file system id */
               __SWORD_TYPE f_namelen; /* maximum length of filenames */
               __SWORD_TYPE f_frsize;  /* fragment size (since Linux 2.6) */
               __SWORD_TYPE f_spare[5];
           };

       Nobody knows what f_fsid is supposed to contain (but see below).
       Fields  that  are  undefined for a particular file system are set to 0.
       fstatfs() 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 (statfs()) Search permission is denied for a  component  of  the
              path prefix of path.  (See also path_resolution(7).)
       EBADF  (fstatfs()) 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 file system.
       ELOOP  (statfs()) Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat-
              ing path.
       ENAMETOOLONG
              (statfs()) path is too long.
       ENOENT (statfs()) The file referred to by path does not exist.
       ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.
       ENOSYS The file system does not support this call.
       ENOTDIR
              (statfs()) 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.
CONFORMING TO
       Linux-specific.  The Linux statfs() was inspired by the 4.4BSD one (but
       they do not use the same structure).
NOTES
       The  original  Linux  statfs()  and  fstatfs()  system  calls  were not
       designed with extremely large file sizes in mind.  Subsequently,  Linux
       2.6 added new statfs64() and fstatfs64() system calls that employ a new
       structure, statfs64.  The new structure contains the same fields as the
       original  statfs  structure,  but  the  sizes  of  various  fields  are
       increased, to accommodate large file sizes.   The  glibc  statfs()  and
       fstatfs()  wrapper functions transparently deal with the kernel differ-
       ences.
       Some  systems  only  have  <sys/vfs.h>,   other   systems   also   have
       <sys/statfs.h>,  where  the  former  includes  the latter.  So it seems
       including the former is the best choice.
       LSB has deprecated the library calls statfs() and fstatfs()  and  tells
       us to use statvfs(2) and fstatvfs(2) instead.
   The f_fsid field
       Solaris,  Irix  and  POSIX have a system call statvfs(2) that returns a
       struct statvfs (defined in <sys/statvfs.h>) containing an unsigned long
       f_fsid.   Linux,  SunOS, HP-UX, 4.4BSD have a system call statfs() that
       returns a struct statfs (defined in <sys/vfs.h>)  containing  a  fsid_t
       f_fsid,  where  fsid_t  is defined as struct { int val[2]; }.  The same
       holds for FreeBSD, except that it uses the include file <sys/mount.h>.
       The general idea is that f_fsid contains some random  stuff  such  that
       the  pair (f_fsid,ino) uniquely determines a file.  Some operating sys-
       tems use (a variation on) the device number, or the device number  com-
       bined  with the file-system type.  Several OSes restrict giving out the
       f_fsid field to the  superuser  only  (and  zero  it  for  unprivileged
       users), because this field is used in the filehandle of the file system
       when NFS-exported, and giving it out is a security concern.
       Under some operating systems the fsid can be used as second argument to
       the sysfs(2) system call.
