NAME

sys/statvfs.h --- VFS File System information structure

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/statvfs.h>

DESCRIPTION

The <sys/statvfs.h> header shall define the statvfs structure, which shall include at least the following members:


unsigned long f_bsize    File system block size.
unsigned long f_frsize   Fundamental file system block size.
fsblkcnt_t    f_blocks   Total number of blocks on file system in units of f_frsize.
fsblkcnt_t    f_bfree    Total number of free blocks.
fsblkcnt_t    f_bavail   Number of free blocks available to
                         non-privileged process.
fsfilcnt_t    f_files    Total number of file serial numbers.
fsfilcnt_t    f_ffree    Total number of free file serial numbers.
fsfilcnt_t    f_favail   Number of file serial numbers available to
                         non-privileged process.
unsigned long f_fsid     File system ID.
unsigned long f_flag     Bit mask of f_flag values.
unsigned long f_namemax  Maximum filename length.

The <sys/statvfs.h> header shall define the fsblkcnt_t and fsfilcnt_t types as described in <sys/types.h>. The <sys/statvfs.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for the f_flag member:

ST_RDONLY

Read-only file system.

ST_NOSUID

Does not support the semantics of the ST_ISUID and ST_ISGID file mode bits. The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.


int fstatvfs(int, struct statvfs *);
int statvfs(const char *restrict, struct statvfs *restrict);
