Disk Usage Statistics
 

Hello,

How do you get the disk usage statistics just like the output of "df"?
I want to include this is my application. I was able to extract other information like cpu, memory, load average from the /proc file.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi,
Kind of quick solution would be to just call df from your program and capture the output ...

Thanks. I'm kind of thinking of that solution but would like to try another solution first. Perhaps a system call?

any other?

Have a look at busybox's minimalistic implementation of df at www.busybox.net

what does df read from? probably /proc/diskstats ? you could parse from there

There's also something like statfs, try man statfs.

thank you for your replies. statvfs or statfs will do

never mind. thanks.
