GETFSSTAT(2)              NetBSD Programmer's Manual              GETFSSTAT(2)


NAME

     getfsstat - get list of all mounted file systems


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/ucred.h>
     #include <sys/mount.h>

     int
     getfsstat(struct statfs *buf, long bufsize, int flags);


DESCRIPTION

     Getfsstat() returns information about all mounted file systems.  Buf is a
     pointer to an array of statfs structures defined as follows:

     typedef struct { int32_t val[2]; } fsid_t;

     #define MFSNAMELEN   16 /* length of fs type name, including nul */
     #define MNAMELEN     90 /* length of buffer for returned name */

     struct statfs {
         short   f_type;     /* type of file system (unused; zero) */
         short   f_flags;    /* copy of mount flags */
         long    f_bsize;    /* fundamental file system block size */
         long    f_iosize;   /* optimal transfer block size */
         long    f_blocks;   /* total data blocks in file system */
         long    f_bfree;    /* free blocks in fs */
         long    f_bavail;   /* free blocks avail to non-superuser */
         long    f_files;    /* total file nodes in file system */
         long    f_ffree;    /* free file nodes in fs */
         fsid_t  f_fsid;     /* file system id */
         uid_t   f_owner;    /* user that mounted the file system */
         long    f_spare[4]; /* spare for later */
         char    f_fstypename[MFSNAMELEN]; /* fs type name */
         char    f_mntonname[MNAMELEN];    /* directory on which mounted */
         char    f_mntfromname[MNAMELEN];  /* mounted file system */
     };

     Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
     The buffer is filled with an array of statfs structures, one for each
     mounted file system up to the size specified by bufsize.

     If buf is given as NULL, getfsstat() returns just the number of mounted
     file systems.

     Normally flags should be specified as MNT_WAIT. If flags is set to
     MNT_NOWAIT, getfsstat() will return the information it has available
     without requesting an update from each file system.  Thus, some of the
     information will be out of date, but getfsstat() will not block waiting
     for information from a file system that is unable to respond.


RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, the number of statfs structures is returned.
     Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi-
     cate the error.


ERRORS

     Getfsstat() fails if one or more of the following are true:

     [EFAULT]      Buf points to an invalid address.

     [EIO]         An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the
                   file system.

     The getfsstat() function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
