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
       path name of any file within the mounted filesystem.  buf is a pointer to a  statfs
       structure defined approximately as follows:

              struct statfs {
                 long    f_type;     /* type of filesystem (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 appropri-
       ately.

ERRORS
       EBADF  (fstatfs) fd is not a valid open file descriptor.

       EACCES (statfs)  Search  permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of
              path.

       ELOOP  (statfs) Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path.

       ENAMETOOLONG
              (statfs) path is too long.

       ENOENT (statfs) The file referred to by path does not exist.

       ENOTDIR
              (statfs) A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.

       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.

       ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.

       ENOSYS The file system does not support this call.

       EOVERFLOW
              Some values were too large to be represented in the returned struct.


CONFORMING TO
       The Linux statfs was inspired by the 4.4BSD one (but  they  do  not  use  the  same
       structure).

NOTES ON f_fsid
       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,
       HPUX,  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 OSes use (a variation on) the device
       number, or the device number combined  with  the  filesystem  type.   Several  OSes
       restrict  giving  out  the  f_fsid  field  to  the  superuser only (and zero it for
       nonprivileged users), because this field is used in the filehandle of the  filesys-
       tem when NFS-exported, and giving it out is a security concern.

       Under  some  OSes  the  fsid  can be used as second parameter to the sysfs() system
       call.

NOTES
       The kernel has system calls statfs, fstatfs, statfs64, fstatfs64  to  support  this
       library call.

       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 [f]statfs() and tells us to use [f]statvfs()
       instead.
