STATFS(2)

NAME
statfs - get file system statistics

LIBRARY
libc

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_NODEV
    Special files in the file system may not be opened.

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_SUIDDIR
    Special handling of SUID bit on directories.

MNT_UNION
    Union with underlying filesystem.

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

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.

HISTORY
The statfs() system call first appeared in 4.4BSD.
