fstatfs64

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:

           struct statfs {
              long    f_type;     /* type of file system (see below) */
              long    f_bsize;    /* optimal transfer block size */
              long    f_blocks;   /* total data blocks in file system */
              long    f_bfree;    /* free blocks in fs */
              long    f_bavail;   /* free blocks avail to non-superuser */
              long    f_files;    /* total file nodes in file system */
              long    f_ffree;    /* free file nodes in fs */
              fsid_t  f_fsid;     /* file system id */
              long    f_namelen;  /* maximum length of filenames */
           };

       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  kernel  has  system  calls  statfs(),  fstatfs(),  statfs64(), and
       fstatfs64() to support this library call.
       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 OSes use (a
       variation on) the device number, or the device number combined 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 OSes the fsid can be used as second argument to the  sysfs()
       system call.
