Statvfs(3pm)
NAME
Filesys::Statvfs - Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs()
SYNOPSIS
use Filesys::Statvfs;
my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
$files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = statvfs("/tmp");
#### Pass an open filehandle. Verify that fileno() returns a defined
#### value. If you pass undef to fstatvfs you will get unexpected results
my $fd = fileno(FILE_HANDLE);
if(defined($fd)) {
($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
$files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = fstatvfs($fd);
}
DESCRIPTION
Interface for statvfs() and fstatvfs()
Unless you need access to the bsize, flag, and namemax values, you
should probably look at using Filesys::DfPortable or Filesys::Df
instead. They will generally provide you with more functionality and
portability.
The module should work with all flavors of Unix that implement the
"statvfs()" and "fstatvfs()" calls. This would include Linux, *BSD, HPUX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix, Cygwin, etc ...
The "statvfs()" and "fstatvfs()" functions will return a list of
values, or will return "undef" and set $! if there was an error.
The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the
"statvfs()/fstatvfs()" man page.
The module assumes that if you have "statvfs()", "fstatvfs()" will also
be available.
