statfs, fstatfs - get file system statistics
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#include <sys/vfs.h> /* or <sys/statfs.h> */
int statfs(const char *path, struct statfs
*buf);
int fstatfs(int fd, struct statfs *buf);
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.
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and
errno is set
appropriately.
- EACCES
- (statfs) Search permission is denied for a component of the
path prefix of path. (See also path_resolution(2).)
- 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
translating 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.
The Linux
statfs was inspired by the 4.4BSD one (but they do not use the
same structure).
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 filesystem 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.
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.
