STATVFS(2)               DragonFly System Calls Manual              STATVFS(2)
NAME
     statvfs, fstatvfs -- get file system statistics
LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/statvfs.h>
     int
     statvfs(const char *path, struct statvfs *buf);
     int
     fstatvfs(int fd, struct statvfs *buf);
DESCRIPTION
     statvfs() returns information about a mounted file system.  path is the
     path name of any file within the mounted file system.  buf is a pointer
     to a statvfs structure defined as follows:
     struct statvfs {
             unsigned long f_bsize;       /* file system block size */
             unsigned long f_frsize;      /* fundamental file system block size */
             fsblkcnt_t    f_blocks;      /* number of blocks (unit f_frsize) */
             fsblkcnt_t    f_bfree;       /* free blocks in file system */
             fsblkcnt_t    f_bavail;      /* free blocks for non-root */
             fsfilcnt_t    f_files;       /* total file inodes */
             fsfilcnt_t    f_ffree;       /* free file inodes */
             fsfilcnt_t    f_favail;      /* free file inodes for to non-root */
             unsigned long f_fsid;        /* file system id */
             unsigned long f_flag;        /* bit mask of f_flag values */
             unsigned long f_namemax;     /* maximum filename length */
             uid_t         f_owner;       /* user that mounted the filesystem */
             unsigned int  f_type;        /* filesystem type */
             uint64_t      f_syncreads;   /* count of sync reads since mount */
             uint64_t      f_syncwrites;  /* count of sync writes since mount */
             uint64_t      f_asyncreads;  /* count of async reads since mount */
             uint64_t      f_asyncwrites; /* count of async writes since mount */
             /*
              * DragonFly extensions - full uuid FSID and owner
              */
             uuid_t        f_fsid_uuid;
             uuid_t        f_uid_uuid;
     };
     /*
      * f_flag definitions
      */
     #define ST_RDONLY     0x00000001     /* fs is read-only */
     #define ST_NOSUID     0x00000002     /* ST_ISUID or ST_ISGID not supported */
     /*
      * DragonFly specific flags
      */
     #define ST_FSID_UUID  0x40000000     /* f_fsid_uuid field is valid */
     #define ST_OWNER_UUID 0x80000000     /* f_owner_uuid field is valid */
     The fields of type fsblkcnt_t are reported in units of f_frsize.
     fstatvfs() returns the same information about an open file referenced by
     descriptor fd.
RETURN VALUES
     The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions return the value 0 if successful;
     otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set
     to indicate the error.
ERRORS
     statvfs() fails if one or more of the following are true:
     [ENOTDIR]          A component of the path prefix of path is not a direc-
                        tory.
     [ENAMETOOLONG]     The length of a component of path exceeds {NAME_MAX}
                        characters, or the length of path exceeds {PATH_MAX}
                        characters.
     [ENOENT]           The file referred to by path does not exist.
     [EACCES]           Search permission is denied for a component of the
                        path prefix of path.
     [ELOOP]            Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat-
                        ing path.
     [EFAULT]           buf or path points to an invalid address.
     [EIO]              An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
                        the file system.
     fstatvfs() fails if one or more of the following are true:
     [EBADF]            fd is not a valid open file descriptor.
     [EFAULT]           buf points to an invalid address.
     [EIO]              An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
                        the file system.

STANDARDS
     The statvfs() and fstatvfs() system calls conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
     (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
