The statvfs Module

The statvfs module, used in Example 14-11, contains a number of constants and test functions that can be used with the optional os.statvfs function, which returns information about a filesystem.

Example 14-11. Using the statvfs Module

File: statvfs-example-1.py import statvfs import os st = os.statvfs(".") print "preferred block size", "=>", st[statvfs.F_BSIZE] print "fundamental block size", "=>", st[statvfs.F_FRSIZE] print "total blocks", "=>", st[statvfs.F_BLOCKS] print "total free blocks", "=>", st[statvfs.F_BFREE] print "available blocks", "=>", st[statvfs.F_BAVAIL] print "total file nodes", "=>", st[statvfs.F_FILES] print "total free nodes", "=>", st[statvfs.F_FFREE] print "available nodes", "=>", st[statvfs.F_FAVAIL] print "max file name length", "=>", st[statvfs.F_NAMEMAX] preferred block size => 8192 fundamental block size => 1024 total blocks => 749443 total free blocks => 110442 available blocks => 35497 total file nodes => 92158 total free nodes => 68164 available nodes => 68164 max file name length => 255
