+ Returns a tuple with the filesystem information in the following order:
+
+ * ``f_bsize`` -- file system block size
+ * ``f_frsize`` -- fragment size
+ * ``f_blocks`` -- size of fs in f_frsize units
+ * ``f_bfree`` -- number of free blocks
+ * ``f_bavail`` -- number of free blocks for unpriviliged users
+ * ``f_files`` -- number of inodes
+ * ``f_ffree`` -- number of free inodes
+ * ``f_favail`` -- number of free inodes for unpriviliged users
+ * ``f_flag`` -- mount flags
+ * ``f_namemax`` -- maximum filename length
+
+ Parameters related to inodes: ``f_files``, ``f_ffree``, ``f_avail``
+ and the ``f_flags`` parameter may return ``0`` as they can be unavailable
+ in a port-specific implementation.
