GETFSSTAT(2)		      System Calls Manual		  GETFSSTAT(2)

NAME
       getfsstat -- get	list of	all mounted file systems

LIBRARY
       Standard	C Library (libc, -lc)

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

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  getfsstat()	system call returns information	about all mounted file
       systems.	 The buf argument is a pointer to statfs  structures,  as  de-
       scribed in statfs(2).

       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 byte count specified by bufsize.	 Note,
       the bufsize argument is the number of bytes that	buf can	hold, not  the
       count of	statfs structures it will hold.

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

       Normally	 mode  should  be  specified  as  MNT_WAIT.  If	mode 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       information will	be out of date,	but getfsstat()	will not block waiting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.  It  will
       also  skip  any	file system that is in the process of being unmounted,
       even if the unmount would eventually fail.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, the number  of  statfs  structures  is  re-
       turned.	Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno	is set
       to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The  getfsstat()	 system	call fails if one or more of the following are
       true:

       [EFAULT]		  The buf argument points to an	invalid	address.

       [EINVAL]		  mode is set  to  a  value  other  than  MNT_WAIT  or
			  MNT_NOWAIT.

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

       [EINTEGRITY]	  Corrupted data was detected while reading  from  the
			  file system.

HISTORY
       The getfsstat() system call first appeared in 4.4BSD.
