- .SH NAME
- fstatvfs,
- statvfs
- \(em get file system information
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <sys/statvfs.h>
- .P
- int fstatvfs(int \fIfildes\fP, struct statvfs *\fIbuf\fP);
- int statvfs(const char *restrict \fIpath\fP, struct statvfs *restrict \fIbuf\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIfstatvfs\fR()
- function shall obtain information about the file system containing
- the file referenced by
- .IR fildes .
- .P
- The
- \fIstatvfs\fR()
- function shall obtain information about the file system
- containing the file named by
- .IR path .
- .P
- For both functions, the
- .IR buf
- argument is a pointer to a
- .BR statvfs
- structure that shall be filled. Read, write, or execute permission of
- the named file is not required.
- .P
- The following flags can be returned in the
- .IR f_flag
- member:
- .IP ST_RDONLY 12
- Read-only file system.
- .IP ST_NOSUID 12
- Setuid/setgid bits ignored by
- .IR exec .
- .P
- It is unspecified whether all members of the
- .BR statvfs
- structure have meaningful values on all file systems.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fIstatvfs\fR()
- shall return 0. Otherwise, it shall return \-1 and set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIfstatvfs\fR()
- and
- \fIstatvfs\fR()
- functions shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EIO
- An I/O error occurred while reading the file system.
- .TP
- .BR EINTR
- A signal was caught during execution of the function.
- .TP
- .BR EOVERFLOW
- One of the values to be returned cannot be represented correctly in
- the structure pointed to by
- .IR buf .
- .P
- The
- \fIfstatvfs\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EBADF
- The
- .IR fildes
- argument is not an open file descriptor.
- .P
- The
- \fIstatvfs\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EACCES
- Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
- .TP
- .BR ELOOP
- A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
- .IR path
- argument.
- .TP
- .BR ENAMETOOLONG
- .br
- The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
- {NAME_MAX}.
- .TP
- .BR ENOENT
- A component of
- .IR path
- does not name an existing file or
- .IR path
- is an empty string.
- .TP
- .BR ENOTDIR
- A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is neither
- a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory, or the
- .IR path
- argument contains at least one non-\c
- <slash>
- character and ends with one or more trailing
- <slash>
- characters and the last pathname component names an existing file
- that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
- .br
- .P
- The
- \fIstatvfs\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR ELOOP
- More than
- {SYMLOOP_MAX}
- symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the
- .IR path
- argument.
- .TP
- .BR ENAMETOOLONG
- .br
- The length of a pathname exceeds
- {PATH_MAX},
- or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate
- result with a length that exceeds
- {PATH_MAX}.

- .SS "Obtaining File System Information Using fstatvfs(\|)"
- .P
- The following example shows how to obtain file system information for
- the file system upon which the file named
- .BR /home/cnd/mod1
- resides, using the
- \fIfstatvfs\fR()
- function. The
- .BR /home/cnd/mod1
- file is opened with read/write privileges and the open file descriptor
- is passed to the
- \fIfstatvfs\fR()
- function.
