FSTATVFS(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             FSTATVFS(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       fstatvfs, statvfs — get file system information

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sys/statvfs.h>
       int fstatvfs(int fildes, struct statvfs *buf);
       int statvfs(const char *restrict path, struct statvfs *restrict buf);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The fstatvfs() function shall obtain information about the file
       system containing the file referenced by fildes.
       The statvfs() function shall obtain information about the file system
       containing the file named by path.
       For both functions, the buf argument is a pointer to a statvfs
       structure that shall be filled. Read, write, or execute permission of
       the named file is not required.
       The following flags can be returned in the f_flag member:
       ST_RDONLY   Read-only file system.
       ST_NOSUID   Setuid/setgid bits ignored by exec.
       It is unspecified whether all members of the statvfs structure have
       meaningful values on all file systems.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, statvfs() shall return 0. Otherwise, it
       shall return −1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The fstatvfs() and statvfs() functions shall fail if:
       EIO    An I/O error occurred while reading the file system.
       EINTR  A signal was caught during execution of the function.
       EOVERFLOW
              One of the values to be returned cannot be represented
              correctly in the structure pointed to by buf.
       The fstatvfs() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not an open file descriptor.
       The statvfs() function shall fail if:
       EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
       ELOOP  A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution
              of the path argument.
       ENAMETOOLONG
              The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
              {NAME_MAX}.
       ENOENT A component of path does not name an existing file or path is
              an empty string.
       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
              path argument contains at least one non-<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.
       The statvfs() function may fail if:
       ELOOP  More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during
              resolution of the path argument.
       ENAMETOOLONG
              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}.
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

   Obtaining File System Information Using fstatvfs()
       The following example shows how to obtain file system information for
       the file system upon which the file named /home/cnd/mod1 resides,
       using the fstatvfs() function. The /home/cnd/mod1 file is opened with
       read/write privileges and the open file descriptor is passed to the
       fstatvfs() function.
           #include <sys/statvfs.h>
           #include <fcntl.h>
           struct statvfs buffer;
           int            status;
           ...
           fildes = open("/home/cnd/mod1", O_RDWR);
           status  = fstatvfs(fildes, &buffer);
