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.

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 header or the statvfs() man page.

The module assumes that if you have statvfs(), fstatvfs() will also be available.
