FSTATVFS(3P)               POSIX Programmer's Manual              FSTATVFS(3P)
PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       fstatvfs, statvfs -- get file system information
SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/statvfs.h>
       int fstatvfs(int fildes, struct statvfs *buf);
       int statvfs(const char *restrict path, struct statvfs *restrict buf);
DESCRIPTION
       The fstatvfs() function shall obtain information about the file  system
       containing the file referenced by fildes.
       The  statvfs()  function shall obtain information about the file system
       containing the file named by path.
       For both functions, the buf argument is a pointer to a  statvfs  struc-
       ture  that  shall  be filled. Read, write, or execute permission of the
       named file is not required.
       The following flags can be returned in the f_flag member:
       ST_RDONLY   Read-only file system.
       ST_NOSUID   Setuid/setgid bits ignored by exec.
       It is unspecified whether all members of  the  statvfs  structure  have
       meaningful values on all file systems.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  statvfs()  shall return 0. Otherwise, it
       shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
       The fstatvfs() and statvfs() functions shall fail if:
       EIO    An I/O error occurred while reading the file system.
       EINTR  A signal was caught during execution of the function.
       EOVERFLOW
              One of the values to be returned cannot be represented correctly
              in the structure pointed to by buf.
       The fstatvfs() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not an open file descriptor.
       The statvfs() function shall fail if:
       EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
       ELOOP  A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of
              the path argument.
       ENAMETOOLONG
              The  length  of  a  component  of  a  pathname  is  longer  than
              {NAME_MAX}.
       ENOENT A component of path does not name an existing file or path is an
              empty string.
       ENOTDIR
              A component of the path prefix names an existing  file  that  is
              neither  a  directory nor a symbolic link to a directory, or the
              path argument contains at least one  non-<slash>  character  and
              ends  with  one or more trailing <slash> characters and the last
              pathname component names an existing  file  that  is  neither  a
              directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
       The statvfs() function may fail if:
       ELOOP  More  than  {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during
              resolution of the path argument.
       ENAMETOOLONG
              The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or pathname resolu-
              tion  of  a symbolic link produced an intermediate result with a
              length that exceeds {PATH_MAX}.

EXAMPLES
   Obtaining File System Information Using fstatvfs()
       The following example shows how to obtain file system  information  for
       the file system upon which the file named /home/cnd/mod1 resides, using
       the  fstatvfs()  function.  The  /home/cnd/mod1  file  is  opened  with
       read/write  privileges  and  the  open file descriptor is passed to the
       fstatvfs() function.
           #include <sys/statvfs.h>
           #include <fcntl.h>
           struct statvfs buffer;
           int            status;
           ...
           fildes = open("/home/cnd/mod1", O_RDWR);
           status  = fstatvfs(fildes, &buffer);
   Obtaining File System Information Using statvfs()
       The following example shows how to obtain file system  information  for
       the file system upon which the file named /home/cnd/mod1 resides, using
       the statvfs() function.
           #include <sys/statvfs.h>
           struct statvfs buffer;
           int            status;
           ...
           status = statvfs("/home/cnd/mod1", &buffer);
