What is the best way to find out current available diskspace
from within a program? One way is -
system("df . > /tmp/somename");
and then parse the file /tmp/somename.
I am sure there is a better way. I am using SunOS 4.0.3.
thanks in advance,
-Anil

One way is - > system("df . > /tmp/somename"); Have you tried the ustat() call? It uses the ustat structure which looks like this: struct ustat { daddr_t f_tfree; /* total free blocks */ ino_t f_tinode; /* total inodes free */ char f_fname[6]; /* filsys name */ char f_fpack[6]; /* filsys pack name */ }; -- Jean-Pierre Radley jpr@jpradley.uucp New York, NY 72160.1341@compuserve.com

AT&T UNIX System V Programmer's Reference Manual, statfs(2): "statfs obsoletes ustat and should be used in preference to it in new programs." Much better all round.
