space_info space(const path& p); space_info space(const path& p, error_code& ec) noexcept;

Returns: An object of type space_­info. The value of the space_­info object is determined as if by using POSIX statvfs to obtain a POSIX struct statvfs, and then multiplying its f_­blocks, f_­bfree, and f_­bavail members by its f_­frsize member, and assigning the results to the capacity, free, and available members respectively. Any members for which the value cannot be determined shall be set to static_­cast<uintmax_­t>(-1). For the signature with argument ec, all members are set to static_­cast<uintmax_­t>(-1) if an error occurs.

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].

Remarks: The value of member space_­info​::​available is operating system dependent. [Note: available may be less than free. end note]
