50<H2>Description</H2>
51<p>
52Obtains the file system's available free space (in bytes) and the number of free inodes. However, <font color="ff0000">you cannot use this function to determine whether new files or directories can be created</font>. (This serves to protect the free space reserved by the system.) To determine whether new files and directories can be created, use the <code>NANDCheck[Async]</code> or <code>NANDGetAvailableArea[Async]</code> function.
53</p>
54
55<p>
56This function may put the current thread to sleep. For precautions related to calling similar functions, see <a href="../os/Interrupt/intro.html">Interrupts and Callback Functions</a>.
