Prompted by Stefan mentioning AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS, a possible few
words about stat fields not always available.
* posix.texi (File System): stat:rdev and stat:blocks can return #f,
stat:blksize returns a sensible size if the field is not available.
Formatted text for ease of contemplation. The second sentence of each
is new.
- Scheme Procedure: stat:rdev st
Device ID; this entry is defined only for character or block
special files. On some systems this field is not available
at all, in which case `stat:rdev' returns `#f'.
- Scheme Procedure: stat:blksize st
The optimal block size for reading or writing the file, in
bytes. On some systems this field is not available, in which
case `stat:blksize' returns a sensible suggested block size.
- Scheme Procedure: stat:blocks st
The amount of disk space that the file occupies measured in
units of 512 byte blocks. On some systems this field is not
available, in which case `stat:blocks' returns `#f'.
