37.Dt GETFSSTAT 2
38.Os
39.Sh NAME
40.Nm getfsstat
41.Nd get list of all mounted file systems
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
44.Fd #include <sys/ucred.h>
45.Fd #include <sys/mount.h>
46.Ft int
47.Fn getfsstat "struct statfs *buf" "int bufsize" "int flags"
48.Sh TRANSITIIONAL SYNOPSIS (NOW DEPRECATED)
49.Ft int
50.br
51.Fn getfsstat64 "struct statfs64 *buf" "int bufsize" "int flags" ;
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Fn getfsstat
55function returns information about all mounted file systems.
56The
57.Fa buf
58argument is a pointer to an array of
59.Fa statfs
60structures (see
61.Xr statfs 2 ) .
62As
63.Xr statfs 2
64indicates, the structure is defined differently depending on
65whether the macro _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE is defined (see
66.Xr stat 2
67for more information on this macro).
68.Pp
69Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1.
70The buffer is filled with an array of
71.Fa statfs
72structures, one for each mounted file system
73up to the size specified by
74.Fa bufsize .
75.Pp
76If
77.Fa buf
78is given as NULL,
79.Fn getfsstat
80returns just the number of mounted file systems.
81.Pp
82If
83.Fa flags
84is set to
85.Dv MNT_NOWAIT ,
86.Fn getfsstat
87will directly return the information retained in the kernel
88to avoid delays caused by waiting for updated information from
89a file system that is perhaps temporarily unable to respond.
90Some of the information returned may be out of date, however; if
91.Fa flags
92is set to
93.Dv MNT_WAIT
94or
95.Dv MNT_DWAIT
96instead,
97.Fn getfsstat
98will request updated information from each mounted filesystem before
99returning.
100.Sh RETURN VALUES
101Upon successful completion, the number of
102.Fa statfs
103structures is returned.
104Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
105.Va errno
106is set to indicate the error.
107.Sh ERRORS
108.Fn Getfsstat
109fails if one or more of the following are true:
110.Bl -tag -width Er
111.It Bq Er EFAULT
112The
113.Fa buf
114argument points to an invalid address.
115.It Bq Er EIO
116An
117.Tn I/O
118error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
119.El
120.Sh TRANSITIONAL DESCRIPTION (NOW DEPRECATED)
121The
122.Fn getfsstat64
123routine is equivalent to the default
124.Fn getfstat
125(when
126.Dv _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
127is defined), so there is no longer any reason to use it (it will be removed
128in the future).

132.Xr fstab 5 ,

134.Sh HISTORY
135The
136.Fn getfsstat
137function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
