.TH STATFS 2 2004-06-23 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
statfs, fstatfs \- get file system statistics
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR "#include <sys/vfs.h> " "/* or <sys/statfs.h> */"
.sp
.BI "int statfs(const char *" path ", struct statfs *" buf );
.br
.BI "int fstatfs(int " fd ", struct statfs *" buf );
.SH DESCRIPTION
The function
.BR statfs ()
returns information about a mounted file system.
.I path
is the pathname of any file within the mounted filesystem.
.I buf
is a pointer to a
.I statfs
structure defined approximately as follows:
.RS
.nf
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 */
};

.RE
.PP
Nobody knows what
.I f_fsid
is supposed to contain (but see below).
.PP
Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to 0.
.BR fstatfs ()
returns the same information about an open file referenced by descriptor
.IR fd .
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
On success, zero is returned.
On error, \-1 is returned, and
.I errno
is set appropriately.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EACCES
.RB ( statfs ())
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of
.IR path .
(See also
.BR path_resolution (7).)
.TP
.B EBADF
.RB ( fstatfs ())
.I fd
is not a valid open file descriptor.
.TP
.B EFAULT
.I buf
or
.I path
points to an invalid address.
.TP
.B EINTR
This call was interrupted by a signal.
.TP
.B EIO
An I/O error occurred while reading from the file system.
.TP
.B ELOOP
.RB ( statfs ())
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
.IR path .
.TP
.B ENAMETOOLONG
.RB ( statfs ())
.I path
is too long.
.TP
.B ENOENT
.RB ( statfs ())
The file referred to by
.I path
does not exist.
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Insufficient kernel memory was available.
.TP
.B ENOSYS
The file system does not support this call.
.TP
.B ENOTDIR
.RB ( statfs ())
A component of the path prefix of
.I path
is not a directory.
.TP
.B EOVERFLOW
Some values were too large to be represented in the returned struct.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
Linux specific.
The Linux
.BR statfs ()
was inspired by the 4.4BSD one
(but they do not use the same structure).
.SH NOTES
The kernel has system calls
.BR statfs (),
.BR fstatfs (),
.BR statfs64 (),
and
.BR fstatfs64 ()
to support this library call.
Some systems only have \fI<sys/vfs.h>\fP, other systems also have
\fI<sys/statfs.h>\fP, where the former includes the latter.
So it seems
including the former is the best choice.
LSB has deprecated the library calls
.BR statfs ()
and
.BR fstatfs ()
and tells us to use
.BR statvfs (2)
and
.BR fstatvfs (2)
instead.
.SS The f_fsid field
Solaris, Irix and POSIX have a system call
.BR statvfs (2)
that returns a
.I "struct statvfs"
(defined in
.IR "<sys/statvfs.h>" )
containing an
.I "unsigned long"
.IR f_fsid .
Linux, SunOS, HP-UX, 4.4BSD have a system call
.BR statfs ()
that returns a
.I "struct statfs"
(defined in
.IR "<sys/vfs.h>" )
containing a
.I fsid_t
.IR f_fsid ,
where
.I fsid_t
is defined as
.IR "struct { int val[2]; }" .
The same holds for FreeBSD, except that it uses the include file
.IR "<sys/mount.h>" .
The general idea is that
.I f_fsid
contains some random stuff such that the pair
.RI ( 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
.I f_fsid
field to the superuser only (and zero it for unprivileged users),
because this field is used in the filehandle of the filesystem
when NFS-exported, and giving it out is a security concern.
.LP
Under some OSes the
.I fsid
can be used as second parameter to the
.BR sysfs ()
system call.
