32.Dt GETFSSTAT 2
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm getfsstat
36.Nd get list of all mounted file systems
37.Sh LIBRARY
38.Lb libc
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In sys/param.h
41.In sys/ucred.h
42.In sys/mount.h
43.Ft int
44.Fn getfsstat "struct statfs *buf" "long bufsize" "int flags"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Fn getfsstat
48system call
49returns information about all mounted file systems.
50The
51.Fa buf
52argument
53is a pointer to
54.Vt statfs
55structures, as described in
56.Xr statfs 2 .
57.Pp
58Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
59The buffer is filled with an array of
60.Fa statfs
61structures, one for each mounted file system
62up to the byte count specified by
63.Fa bufsize .
64Note, the
65.Fa bufsize
66argument is the number of bytes that
67.Fa buf
68can hold, not the count of statfs structures it will hold.
69.Pp
70If
71.Fa buf
72is given as NULL,
73.Fn getfsstat
74returns just the number of mounted file systems.
75.Pp
76Normally
77.Fa flags
78should be specified as
79.Dv MNT_WAIT .
80If
81.Fa flags
82is set to
83.Dv MNT_NOWAIT ,
84.Fn getfsstat
85will return the information it has available without requesting
86an update from each file system.
87Thus, some of the information will be out of date, but
88.Fn getfsstat
89will not block waiting for information from a file system that is
90unable to respond.
91.Sh RETURN VALUES
92Upon successful completion, the number of
93.Fa statfs
94structures is returned.
95Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
96.Va errno
97is set to indicate the error.
98.Sh ERRORS
99The
100.Fn getfsstat
101system call
102fails if one or more of the following are true:
103.Bl -tag -width Er
104.It Bq Er EFAULT
105The
106.Fa buf
107argument
108points to an invalid address.
109.It Bq Er EIO
110An
111.Tn I/O
112error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

119The

121system call first appeared in
