NAME [Toc] [Back]
ustat() - get mounted file system statistics
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <ustat.h>
int ustat(dev_t dev, struct ustat *buf);
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The ustat() system call returns information about a mounted file
system. dev is a device number identifying a device containing a
mounted file system. buf is a pointer to a ustat structure (defined
in <ustat.h>) that includes the following elements:
int32_t f_tfree; /* Total free blocks */
ino_t f_tinode; /* Number of free inodes */
char f_fname[6]; /* Filsys name or null */
char f_fpack[6]; /* Filsys pack name or null */
int f_blksize; /* Block size */
The value of f_tfree is the number of free blocks of size f_blksize.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
ustat() returns the following values:
0 Successful completion.
-1 Failure. errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS [Toc] [Back]
If ustat() fails, errno is set to one of the following values.
[EFAULT] buf points outside the process's allocated
address space. The reliable detection of this
error is implementation dependent.
[EINVAL] dev is not the device number of a device
containing a mounted file system.
[EOVERFLOW] Result would overflow f_tfree or another field
of the ustat struct.
WARNINGS [Toc] [Back]
ustat() is deprecated and should be used only by legacy 32-bit
applications. statvfs() or statvfs64() are the recommended
replacements.
For some file systems, the number of free inodes does not change.
Such file systems will return -1 in the field f_tinode.
For some file systems, the inodes can be dynamically allocated. For
such file systems, the field f_tinode contains the number of free
