Filesys::Statvfs - Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs()
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); }
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, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix, Cygwin, etc ...
statvfs()
fstatvfs()
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will return a list of values, or will return undef and set $! if there was an error.
undef
$!
The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the statvfs()/fstatvfs() man page.
statvfs()/fstatvfs()
The module assumes that if you have statvfs(), fstatvfs() will also be available.
