NAME
====
-statfs - dump the statfs information for PATH to console in JSON format
+statfs - dump the statfs(2) information for PATH to console in JSON format.
SYNOPSIS
========
-#### Examine encrypted file/directory
statfs PATH
DESCRIPTION
===========
-There are no options to this command.
+The statfs(2) system call returns information about a mounted filesystem
+in a `statfs_t` structure. This tool dumps this information in JSON format.
+It is developed as part of gocryptfs and written in Go.
+
+The `statfs_t` structure is architecture-dependent. On amd64 it looks like this:
+
+```
+type Statfs_t struct {
+ Type int64
+ Bsize int64
+ Blocks uint64
+ Bfree uint64
+ Bavail uint64
+ Files uint64
+ Ffree uint64
+ Fsid struct {
+ Val [2]int32
+ }
+ Namelen int64
+ Frsize int64
+ Flags int64
+ Spare [4]int64
+}
+```
+
+See the statfs(2) man page for the meaning of these fields, and note
+that the field names here are acc. to the Go `golang.org/x/sys/unix`
+naming convention, and slightly different than in C.
EXAMPLES
========
-Examine a directory entry:
+Get the statfs(2) information for /tmp:
- statfs myfs/mCXnISiv7nEmyc0glGuhTQ
+```
+$ statfs /tmp
+{
+ "Type": 16914836,
+ "Bsize": 4096,
+ "Blocks": 3067428,
+ "Bfree": 3067411,
+ "Bavail": 3067411,
+ "Files": 3067428,
+ "Ffree": 3067381,
+ "Fsid": {
+ "Val": [
+ 0,
+ 0
+ ]
+ },
+ "Namelen": 255,
+ "Frsize": 4096,
+ "Flags": 38,
+ "Spare": [
+ 0,
+ 0,
+ 0,
+ 0
+ ]
+}
+```
