Anyone know if there is a posix/portablish api call for getting free
space from a disk?


TIA

What is "free" space on a disk?

If you want the free space in a file system, try
statvfs().  It's part of SUS and so should be widely
available, but the SUS warns that some returned data
may be meaingless on some platforms and file systems.
