11.4 `statvfs` -- Constants used with `os.statvfs()`

The statvfs module defines constants so interpreting the result if os.statvfs(), which returns a tuple, can be made without remembering ``magic numbers.'' Each of the constants defined in this module is the index of the entry in the tuple returned by os.statvfs() that contains the specified information.

F_BSIZE: Preferred file system block size.

F_FRSIZE: Fundamental file system block size.

F_BLOCKS: Total number of blocks in the filesystem.

F_BFREE: Total number of free blocks.

F_BAVAIL: Free blocks available to non-super user.

F_FILES: Total number of file nodes.

F_FFREE: Total number of free file nodes.

F_FAVAIL: Free nodes available to non-super user.

F_FLAG: Flags. System dependent: see statvfs() man page.

F_NAMEMAX: Maximum file name length.
