statvfs.F_NAMEMAX
Maximum file name length.
Can anyone tell me (or give me some links to know) what are these
values ? The first three I know, I need to know about the rest....
The following web page describes them:
http://docs.python.org/library/statvfs.html
but you already knew that much. So what are you really asking for?
You can simply print them, they are integers:
import statvfs
statvfs.F_FLAG
8
But those values may be specific to a particular python implementation.
No reason to assume they'd be the same across OS platforms, or between
versions 2.5 and 2.6. The whole thing is deprecated, and is eliminated
in 3.0
The term we used to use for these is "magic numbers." Using
magic-numbers directly in your code is a good way to ensure future time
debugging.
