Purpose

Describes the structure of the statistics that are returned by the statvfs subroutines and fsatvfs subroutines.

Description

The statvfs subroutines and fsatvfs subroutines return information on a mounted filesystem in the form of statvfs. The /usr/include/sys/statvfs.h file describes the following fields in the statvfs subroutine:

f_bsize

Preferred file system block size

f_frsize

Fundamental file system block size

f_block

Total number of block f_frsize in the file system.

f_bfree

Total number of free blocks of f_frsize in the file system.

f_bavail

Total number of available blocks of f_frsize that can be used by users without root access.

f_files

Total number of file nodes in the file system

f_ffree

Number of free file nodes in the file system.

f_favail

Number of free file nodes that can be user without root access.

f_fsid

File system ID.

f_basetype

File system type name

f_flag

File system flags:

ST_RDONLY	File system is mounted read only
ST_NOSUID	File system does not support set used ID file modes
ST_NODEV	Device opens are not allowed through mounts.

f_namemax

Maximum length of a component name for this file system

f_fstr

File system specific string.

The following prototypes also appear in the /usr/include/sys/statvfs.h file:

extern int statvfs(const char *, struct statvfs *);

extern int fsatvfs(int, struct statvfs *);
