+.SH NAME
+statfs, fstatfs \- get filesystem statistics
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR "#include <sys/vfs.h> " "/* or <sys/statfs.h> */"
+.P
+.BI "int statfs(const char *" path ", struct statfs *" buf );
+.BI "int fstatfs(int " fd ", struct statfs *" buf );

+Unless you need the
+.I f_type
+field, you should use the standard
+.BR statvfs (3)
+interface instead.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR statfs ()
+system call returns information about a mounted filesystem.
+.I path
+is the pathname of any file within the mounted filesystem.
+.I buf
+is a pointer to a
+.I statfs
+structure defined approximately as follows:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct statfs {
+ __fsword_t f_type; /* Type of filesystem (see below) */
+ __fsword_t f_bsize; /* Optimal transfer block size */
+ fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; /* Total data blocks in filesystem */
+ fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; /* Free blocks in filesystem */
+ fsblkcnt_t f_bavail; /* Free blocks available to
+ unprivileged user */
+ fsfilcnt_t f_files; /* Total inodes in filesystem */
+ fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; /* Free inodes in filesystem */
+ fsid_t f_fsid; /* Filesystem ID */
+ __fsword_t f_namelen; /* Maximum length of filenames */
+ __fsword_t f_frsize; /* Fragment size (since Linux 2.6) */
+ __fsword_t f_flags; /* Mount flags of filesystem
+ (since Linux 2.6.36) */
+ __fsword_t f_spare[xxx];
+ /* Padding bytes reserved for future use */
+};

+Most of these MAGIC constants are defined in

+.P
+The
+.I f_flags
+field is a bit mask indicating mount options for the filesystem.
+It contains zero or more of the following bits:
+.\" XXX Keep this list in sync with statvfs(3)
+.TP
+.B ST_MANDLOCK
+Mandatory locking is permitted on the filesystem (see
+.BR fcntl (2)).
+.TP
+.B ST_NOATIME

+.B ST_NODEV
+Disallow access to device special files on this filesystem.

+.\" dab741e0e02bd3c4f5e2e97be74b39df2523fc6e
+Symbolic links are not followed when resolving paths; see

+.P
+Nobody knows what
+.I f_fsid
+is supposed to contain (but see below).
+.P
+Fields that are undefined for a particular filesystem are set to 0.
+.P
+.BR fstatfs ()
+returns the same information about an open file referenced by descriptor
+.IR fd .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned.
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EACCES
+.RB ( statfs ())
+Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of
+.IR path .
+(See also
+.BR path_resolution (7).)
+.TP
+.B EBADF
+.RB ( fstatfs ())
+.I fd
+is not a valid open file descriptor.
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+.I buf
+or
+.I path
+points to an invalid address.
+.TP
+.B EINTR
+The call was interrupted by a signal; see
+.BR signal (7).
+.TP
+.B EIO
+An I/O error occurred while reading from the filesystem.
+.TP
+.B ELOOP
+.RB ( statfs ())
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
+.IR path .
+.TP
+.B ENAMETOOLONG
+.RB ( statfs ())
+.I path
+is too long.
+.TP
+.B ENOENT
+.RB ( statfs ())
+The file referred to by
+.I path
+does not exist.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Insufficient kernel memory was available.
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+The filesystem does not support this call.
+.TP
+.B ENOTDIR
+.RB ( statfs ())
+A component of the path prefix of
+.I path
+is not a directory.
+.TP
+.B EOVERFLOW
+Some values were too large to be represented in the returned struct.
+.SH VERSIONS
+.SS The f_fsid field
+Solaris, Irix, and POSIX have a system call
+.BR statvfs (2)
+that returns a
+.I "struct statvfs"
+(defined in
+.IR <sys/statvfs.h> )
+containing an
+.I "unsigned long"
+.IR f_fsid .
+Linux, SunOS, HP-UX, 4.4BSD have a system call
+.BR statfs ()
+that returns a
+.I "struct statfs"
+(defined in
+.IR <sys/vfs.h> )
+containing a
+.I fsid_t
+.IR f_fsid ,
+where
+.I fsid_t
+is defined as
+.IR "struct { int val[2]; }" .
+The same holds for FreeBSD, except that it uses the include file
+.IR <sys/mount.h> .
+.P
+The general idea is that
+.I f_fsid
+contains some random stuff such that the pair
+.RI ( f_fsid , ino )
+uniquely determines a file.
+Some operating systems use (a variation on) the device number,
+or the device number combined with the filesystem type.
+Several operating systems restrict giving out the
+.I f_fsid
+field to the superuser only (and zero it for unprivileged users),
+because this field is used in the filehandle of the filesystem
+when NFS-exported, and giving it out is a security concern.
+.P
+Under some operating systems, the
+.I fsid
+can be used as the second argument to the
+.BR sysfs (2)
+system call.
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+The Linux
+.BR statfs ()
+was inspired by the 4.4BSD one
+(but they do not use the same structure).
+.P
+The original Linux
+.BR statfs ()
+and
+.BR fstatfs ()
+system calls were not designed with extremely large file sizes in mind.
+Subsequently, Linux 2.6
+added new
+.BR statfs64 ()
+and
+.BR fstatfs64 ()
+system calls that employ a new structure,
+.IR statfs64 .
+The new structure contains the same fields as the original
+.I statfs
+structure, but the sizes of various fields are increased,
+to accommodate large file sizes.
+The glibc
+.BR statfs ()
+and
+.BR fstatfs ()
+wrapper functions transparently deal with the kernel differences.
+.P
+LSB has deprecated the library calls
+.BR statfs ()
+and
+.BR fstatfs ()
+and tells us to use
+.BR statvfs (3)
+and
+.BR fstatvfs (3)
+instead.
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.I __fsword_t
+type used for various fields in the
+.I statfs
+structure definition is a glibc internal type,
+not intended for public use.
+This leaves the programmer in a bit of a conundrum when trying to copy
+or compare these fields to local variables in a program.
+Using
+.I "unsigned\ int"
+for such variables suffices on most systems.
+.P
+Some systems have only \fI<sys/vfs.h>\fP, other systems also have
+\fI<sys/statfs.h>\fP, where the former includes the latter.
+So it seems
+including the former is the best choice.
