STATFS(2) BSD System Calls Manual STATFS(2)

NAME

statfs — get file system statistics

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, −lc)

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

The statfs() system call returns information about a mounted file system. The path argument is the path name of any file within the mounted file system. The buf argument is a pointer to a statfs structure defined as follows:

typedef struct fsid { int32_t val[2]; } fsid_t; /* file system id type */

/*
* filesystem statistics
*/

#define

MFSNAMELEN

16

/* length of type name including null */

#define

MNAMELEN

88

/* size of on/from name bufs */

#define

STATFS_VERSION

0x20030518

/* current version number */

struct statfs {

uint32_t f_version;

/* structure version number */

uint32_t f_type;

/* type of filesystem */

uint64_t f_flags;

/* copy of mount exported flags */

uint64_t f_bsize;

/* filesystem fragment size */

uint64_t f_iosize;

/* optimal transfer block size */

uint64_t f_blocks;

/* total data blocks in filesystem */

uint64_t f_bfree;

/* free blocks in filesystem */

int64_t

f_bavail;

/* free blocks avail to non-superuser */

uint64_t f_files;

/* total file nodes in filesystem */

int64_t

f_ffree;

/* free nodes avail to non-superuser */

uint64_t f_syncwrites;

/* count of sync writes since mount */

uint64_t f_asyncwrites;

/* count of async writes since mount */

uint64_t f_syncreads;

/* count of sync reads since mount */

uint64_t f_asyncreads;

/* count of async reads since mount */

uint64_t f_spare[10];

/* unused spare */

uint32_t f_namemax;

/* maximum filename length */

uid_t

f_owner;

/* user that mounted the filesystem */

fsid_t

f_fsid;

/* filesystem id */

char

f_charspare[80];

/* spare string space */

char

f_fstypename[MFSNAMELEN]; /* filesystem type name */

char

f_mntfromname[MNAMELEN]; /* mounted filesystem */

char

f_mntonname[MNAMELEN]; /* directory on which mounted */

};

The flags that may be returned include:

MNT_RDONLY

The file system is mounted read-only; Even the super-user may not write on it.

MNT_NOEXEC

Files may not be executed from the file system.

MNT_NOSUID

Setuid and setgid bits on files are not honored when they are executed.

MNT_SYNCHRONOUS

All I/O to the file system is done synchronously.

MNT_ASYNC

No file system I/O is done synchronously.

MNT_SOFTDEP

Soft updates being done (see ffs(7)).

MNT_GJOURNAL

Journaling with gjournal is enabled (see gjournal(8)).

MNT_SUIDDIR

Special handling of SUID bit on directories.

MNT_UNION

Union with underlying file system.

MNT_NOSYMFOLLOW

Symbolic links are not followed.

MNT_NOCLUSTERR

Read clustering is disabled.

MNT_NOCLUSTERW

Write clustering is disabled.

MNT_MULTILABEL

Mandatory Access Control (MAC) support for individual objects (see mac(4)).

MNT_ACLS

Access Control List (ACL) support enabled.

MNT_LOCAL

The file system resides locally.

MNT_QUOTA

The file system has quotas enabled on it.

MNT_ROOTFS

Identifies the root file system.

MNT_EXRDONLY

The file system is exported read-only.

MNT_NOATIME

Updating of file access times is disabled.

MNT_USER

The file system has been mounted by a user.

MNT_EXPORTED

The file system is exported for both reading and writing.

MNT_DEFEXPORTED

The file system is exported for both reading and writing to any Internet host.

MNT_EXPORTANON

The file system maps all remote accesses to the anonymous user.

MNT_EXKERB

The file system is exported with Kerberos uid mapping.

MNT_EXPUBLIC

The file system is exported publicly (WebNFS).

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

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value −1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The statfs() system call fails if one or more of the following are true:

[ENOTDIR]

A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.

[ENAMETOOLONG]

The length of a component of path exceeds 255 characters, or the length of path exceeds 1023 characters.

[ENOENT]

The file referred to by path does not exist.

[EACCES]

Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of path.

[ELOOP]

Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path.

[EFAULT]

The buf or path argument points to an invalid address.

[EIO]

An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

The fstatfs() system call fails if one or more of the following are true:

[EBADF]

The fd argument is not a valid open file descriptor.

[EFAULT]

The buf argument points to an invalid address.

[EIO]

An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
