NAME

       statfs - get file system statistics


SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/mount.h>

       int statfs (const char *path, struct statfs *buf);

       int fstatfs (int fd, struct statfs *buf);


DESCRIPTION

       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 as follows:

       typedef quad fsid_t;

       struct statfs {
       long f_type;        /* FST type (see below) */
       long f_bsize;  /* fundamental file system 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 (GS/OS device number) */
       long f_spare[7];    /* reserved */
       }

       /*
        * File system types.
        */
       #define MOUNT_PRODOS     0x0001    /* ProDOS or SOS */
       #define MOUNT_DOS_33     0x0002    /* DOS 3.3 */
       #define MOUNT_DOS_32     0x0003    /* DOS 3.1 or 3.2 */
       #define MOUNT_PASCAL     0x0004    /* Apple II Pascal */
       #define MOUNT_MFS        0x0005    /* Macintosh (MFS) */
       #define MOUNT_HFS        0x0006    /* Macintosh (HFS) */
       #define MOUNT_LISA       0x0007    /* Lisa */
       #define MOUNT_CPM        0x0008    /* Apple CP/M */
       #define MOUNT_MSDOS      0x000A    /* MS/DOS */
       #define MOUNT_HIGHS      0x000B    /* High Sierra */
       #define MOUNT_CD9660     0x000C    /* ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) */
       #define MOUNT_APLSHAR    0x000D    /* AppleShare */


       Fields  that  are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
       fstatfs returns the same information about an open file  referenced  by
       descriptor fd.


RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, -1 is
       returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.


HISTORY

       The statfs function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
