NAME
statvfsdev(), fstatvfsdev() - get file system information
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/statvfs.h>
int statvfsdev(const char *path, struct statvfs *buf);
int fstatvfsdev(int fildes, struct statvfs *buf);
DESCRIPTION
statvfsdev() returns information about the file system on the device file specified by path . The file
system need not be mounted.
fstatvfsdev()
returns similar information for an open file.
The parameters for the
statvfsdev() and fstatvfsdev()
functions are as follows:
path is a pointer to the name of the device file. (All directories listed in the path name must
be searchable.)
buf is a pointer to a
statvfs structure, which is where the file status information is stored.
fildes is a file descriptor for an open file, which is created with the successful completion of an
open(), creat(), dup(), fcntl(),orpipe() system call (see open(2), creat (2),
dup(2), fcntl (2), or pipe (2)).
buf is a pointer to a
statvfs structure into which information is placed concerning the file system. The
contents of the structure pointed to by buf are described in statvfs (2).
fstatvfsdev() returns the same information as above, but about the open device file referred to by
file descriptor fildes.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
statvfsdev() and fstatvfsdev()
return zero. Otherwise, they
return 1 and set the global variable
errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If
statvfsdev() fails, errno is set to one of the following values:
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
[EFAULT] path points to an invalid address.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links are encountered during path-name translation.
[EMFILE] The maximum number of file descriptors allowed are currently open.
[ENAMETOOLONG]
The length of the specified path name exceeds
PATH_MAX bytes, or the length
of a component of the path name exceeds NAME_MAX bytes while
_POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.
[ENFILE] The system file table is full.
[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
[ENXIO] The device specified by the named special file does not exist.
[EOVERFLOW] Result would overflow one or more fields of the
statvfs struct.
If
fstatvfsdev() fails, errno is set to one of the following values:
[EBADF] fildes is not a valid open file descriptor.
[ESPIPE] filedes is invalid.
When both
fstatvfsdev() and statvfsdev() fail, errno is set to one of the following values:
[EINTR] A system call was interrupted by a signal.
[EINVAL] The file specified by path or filedes does not contain a file system of any known
type.
