The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),

.SH NAME
fstatvfs, statvfs \- get file system information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <sys/statvfs.h>
.br
.sp
int fstatvfs(int\fP \fIfildes\fP\fB, struct statvfs *\fP\fIbuf\fP\fB);
.br
int statvfs(const char *restrict\fP \fIpath\fP\fB, struct statvfs
*restrict\fP \fIbuf\fP\fB); \fP
\fB
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIfstatvfs\fP() function shall obtain information about the file
system containing the file referenced by
\fIfildes\fP.
.LP
The \fIstatvfs\fP() function shall obtain information about the file
system containing the file named by \fIpath\fP.
.LP
For both functions, the \fIbuf\fP argument is a pointer to a \fBstatvfs\fP
structure that shall be filled. Read, write, or
execute permission of the named file is not required.
.LP
The following flags can be returned in the \fIf_flag\fP member:
.TP 7
ST_RDONLY
Read-only file system.
.TP 7
ST_NOSUID
Setuid/setgid bits ignored by \fIexec\fP.
.sp
.LP
It is unspecified whether all members of the \fBstatvfs\fP structure
have meaningful values on all file systems.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fIstatvfs\fP() shall return 0. Otherwise,
it shall return -1 and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the
error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIfstatvfs\fP() and \fIstatvfs\fP() functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EIO
An I/O error occurred while reading the file system.
.TP 7
.B EINTR
A signal was caught during execution of the function.
.TP 7
.B EOVERFLOW
One of the values to be returned cannot be represented correctly in
the structure pointed to by \fIbuf\fP.
.sp
.LP
The \fIfstatvfs\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EBADF
The \fIfildes\fP argument is not an open file descriptor.
.sp
.LP
The \fIstatvfs\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EACCES
Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
.TP 7
.B ELOOP
A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
\fIpath\fP argument.
.TP 7
.B ENAMETOOLONG
The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX} or a pathname component
is longer than {NAME_MAX}.
.TP 7
.B ENOENT
A component of \fIpath\fP does not name an existing file or \fIpath\fP
is an empty string.
.TP 7
.B ENOTDIR
A component of the path prefix of \fIpath\fP is not a directory.
.sp
.LP
The \fIstatvfs\fP() function may fail if:
.TP 7
.B ELOOP
More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution
of the \fIpath\fP argument.
.TP 7
.B ENAMETOOLONG
Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result
whose length exceeds {PATH_MAX}.

.SH EXAMPLES
.SS Obtaining File System Information Using fstatvfs()
.LP
The following example shows how to obtain file system information
for the file system upon which the file named
\fB/home/cnd/mod1\fP resides, using the \fIfstatvfs\fP() function.
The \fB/home/cnd/mod1\fP file is opened with read/write
privileges and the open file descriptor is passed to the \fIfstatvfs\fP()
function.
