12.Nm statfs
13.Nd get file system statistics
14.Sh SYNOPSIS
15.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
16.Fd #include <sys/mount.h>
17.Ft int
18.Fn statfs "const char *path" "struct statfs *buf"

21.Sh DESCRIPTION
22.Fn Statfs
23returns information about a mounted file system.
24.Fa Path
25is the path name of any file within the mounted filesystem.
26.Fa Buf
27is a pointer to a
28.Fn statfs
29structure defined as follows:
30.Bd -literal
31typedef quad fsid_t;
32
33#define MFSNAMELEN	16	/* length of fs type name, including null */
34#define	MNAMELEN	90	/* length of buffer for returned name */
35
36struct statfs {
37	short	f_type;			/* filesystem type number */
38	short	f_flags;		/* copy of mount flags */
39	long	f_bsize;		/* fundamental file system block size */
40	long	f_iosize;		/* optimal transfer block size */
41	long	f_blocks;		/* total data blocks in file system */
42	long	f_bfree;		/* free blocks in fs */
43	long	f_bavail;		/* free blocks avail to non-superuser */
44	long	f_files;		/* total file nodes in file system */
45	long	f_ffree;		/* free file nodes in fs */
46	fsid_t	f_fsid;			/* file system id */
47	uid_t	f_owner;		/* user that mounted the filesystem */
48	long	f_spare[4];		/* spare for later */
49	char	f_fstypename[MFSNAMELEN]; /* fs type name */
50	char	f_mntonname[MNAMELEN];	/* directory on which mounted */
51	char	f_mntfromname[MNAMELEN];/* mounted filesystem */
52};
53.Ed
54.Pp
55Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
56.Fn Fstatfs
57returns the same information about an open file referenced by descriptor
58.Fa fd .
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
61Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
62.Va errno
63is set to indicate the error.
