This distribution contains the modules Filesys::Statfs, Filesys::Statvfs, and Filesys::Df. DESCRIPTION Filesys::Statvfs provides an interface between Perl and the statvfs() system call. SYNOPSIS Filesys::Statvfs use Filesys::Statvfs; my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail, $files, $ffree, $favail, $fsid, $basetype, $flag, $namemax, $fstr) = statvfs("/tmp"); Filesys::Statfs provides an interface between Perl and the statfs() system call. This module will only install if you are using a system that doesn't have statvfs(). SYNOPSIS Filesys::Statfs use Filesys::Statfs; my($ftype, $bsize, $blocks, $bfree, $files, $ffree, $bavail) = statfs("/tmp"); Filesys::Df uses Filesys::Statvfs or Filesys::Statfs to obtain filesystem statistics, then creates additional filesystem information such as percent full, user and superuser differentials, etc. Filesys::Df will also let you specify the block size for the values you wish to see. The default block size output is 1024 bytes per block. SYNOPSIS Filesys::Df use Filesys::Df; my $ref = df("/tmp"); # Default block size of 1024 bytes. # You can specify a different block # as a second argument. print"Percent Full: $ref->{per}\n"; print"Total Blocks: $ref->{blocks}\n"; print"Blocks Available: $ref->{bavail}\n"; print"Blocks Used: $ref->{used}\n"; print"Inode Percent full: $ref->{fper}\n"; print"Inodes Free: $ref->{favail}\n"; print"Inodes Used: $ref->{fused}\n"; print"Total Bytes", ($ref->{blocks} * 1024), "\n"; # These are just some of the keys that are available. # See the documentation for the others. INSTALL TO INSTALL RUN: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install For this module to install and work properly, your system will need to support either the statvfs() or statfs() system call. A good way to tell if your system supports them is to to look for the sys/statvfs.h or sys/statfs.h header in your include directory (Usually /usr/include/). If there is an error during the 'make', it is possible that your system does not support statvfs() or statfs(). Another possible reason may be that the statvfs structure defined in statvfs.h does not contain one or more of the fields that are defined in Statvfs.xs. This also applies to statfs(). During the 'make test', test.pl will use statvfs() or statfs() to stat the root directory "/". If it fails it will report an error, otherwise it will report all the standard fields in the structure. The 'make test' will then proceed to test the df() call. Once installed, run 'perldoc Filesys::Df' for more information. If you have any problems or questions please email me at IGuthrie@aol.com with "Filesys Module" in the subject line. Please include the module version, and if you are using statvfs() or statfs() on your system. Copyright (c) 2004 Ian Guthrie. All rights reserved.
