NAME
       Filesys::Statvfs - Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs()

SYNOPSIS
         use Filesys::Statvfs;

               my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
               $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = statvfs("/tmp");

               #### Pass an open filehandle. Verify that fileno() returns a defined
               #### value. If you pass undef to fstatvfs you will get unexpected results
               my $fd = fileno(FILE_HANDLE);
               if(defined($fd)) {
                       ($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
                       $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = fstatvfs($fd);
               }

DESCRIPTION
       Interface for statvfs() and fstatvfs()

       Unless you need access to the bsize, flag, and namemax values, you should probably look at
       using Filesys::DfPortable or Filesys::Df instead. They will generally provide you with
       more functionality and portability.

       The module should work with all flavors of Unix that implement the "statvfs()" and
       "fstatvfs()" calls. This would include Linux, *BSD, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix,
       Cygwin, etc ...

       The "statvfs()" and "fstatvfs()" functions will return a list of values, or will return
       "undef" and set $! if there was an error.

       The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the
       "statvfs()/fstatvfs()" man page.

       The module assumes that if you have "statvfs()", "fstatvfs()" will also be available.
