 fpathconf(2) -- get configurable pathname variables
    The pathconf() and fpathconf() functions provides a method for applications to determine the current value of a configurable system limit or option variable associated with a pathname or file descript...
 fstat(2) -- get file status
    The stat() function obtains information about the file pointed to by path. Read, write, or execute permission of the named file is not required, but all directories listed in the path name leading to ...
 fstatfs(2) -- get file system statistics
    statfs() returns information about a mounted file system. path is the path name of any file within the mounted file system. buf is a pointer to a statfs structure defined as follows: typedef struct { ...
 fsync(2) -- synchronize a file's in-core state with that on disk
    fsync() causes all modified data and attributes of fd to be moved to a permanent storage device. This normally results in all incore modified copies of buffers for the associated file to be written to...
 ftruncate(2) -- truncate or extend a file to a specified length
