I have a very minimal system where I can't use df because I want an extended output df can't do, and I can't install CPAN modules (there isn't Filesys::Df, Filesys::Statfs, etc)
I want it to take args of a given file/directory.
stat()'s first returned arg is st_dev. What's a system call that can return current usage and total size of a dev?
stracing df shows it does a stat then a statfs, but I can't seem to access the statfs system call from perl without Filesys::Statfs.
You could use perl's syscall function to call statfs. Basic info in: perldoc -f syscall man 2 statfs You'd have to unpack the returned data struct. Maybe grep for syscall in Filesys::Df or Filesys::Statfs to see how they do it and swipe it. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
