ustat(2) | System Calls Manual | ustat(2) |
NAME¶
ustat - get filesystem statistics
LIBRARY¶
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> /* libc[45] */ #include <ustat.h> /* glibc2 */
[[deprecated]] int ustat(dev_t dev, struct ustat *ubuf);
DESCRIPTION¶
ustat() returns information about a mounted filesystem. dev is a device number identifying a device containing a mounted filesystem. ubuf is a pointer to a ustat structure that contains the following members:
daddr_t f_tfree; /* Total free blocks */ ino_t f_tinode; /* Number of free inodes */ char f_fname[6]; /* Filsys name */ char f_fpack[6]; /* Filsys pack name */
The last two fields, f_fname and f_fpack, are not implemented and will always be filled with null bytes ('\0').
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, zero is returned and the ustat structure pointed to by ubuf will be filled in. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS¶
STANDARDS¶
None.
HISTORY¶
SVr4. Removed in glibc 2.28.
ustat() is deprecated and has been provided only for compatibility. All new programs should use statfs(2) instead.
HP-UX notes¶
The HP-UX version of the ustat structure has an additional field, f_blksize, that is unknown elsewhere. HP-UX warns: For some filesystems, the number of free inodes does not change. Such filesystems will return -1 in the field f_tinode. For some filesystems, inodes are dynamically allocated. Such filesystems will return the current number of free inodes.
