The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count. The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out. Spell this out.

|
|

|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/ucred.h
|
|
.In sys/mount.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn getfsstat "struct statfs *buf" "long bufsize" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getfsstat
|
|
system call
|
|
returns information about all mounted file systems.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
argument
|
|
is a pointer to
|
|
.Vt statfs
|
|
structures, as described in
|
|
.Xr statfs 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
|
|
The buffer is filled with an array of
|
|
.Fa fsstat
|
|
structures, one for each mounted file system
|
|
up to the byte count specified by
|
|
.Fa bufsize .
|
|
Note, the
|
|
.Fa bufsize
|
|
argument is the number of bytes that
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
can hold, not the count of statfs structures it will hold.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
is given as NULL,
|
|
.Fn getfsstat
|
|
returns just the number of mounted file systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
should be specified as
|
|
.Dv MNT_WAIT .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv MNT_NOWAIT ,
|
|
.Fn 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Thus, some of the information will be out of date, but
|
|
.Fn getfsstat
|
|
will not block waiting for information from a file system that is
|
|
unable to respond.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the number of
|
|
.Fa fsstat
|
|
structures is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getfsstat
|
|
system call
|
|
fails if one or more of the following are true:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
argument
|
|
points to an invalid address.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
An
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
