\modulesynopsis{Constants for interpreting the result of
                \function{os.statvfs()}.}

The \module{statvfs} module defines constants so interpreting the result
if \function{os.statvfs()}, which returns a tuple, can be made without
remembering ``magic numbers.''  Each of the constants defined in this
module is the \emph{index} of the entry in the tuple returned by
\function{os.statvfs()} that contains the specified information.
