Eh.  Excuse me to butt in here with a little bit of >EVIDENCE<.
All you people have to do is RTFM.  Look at this:

%man -k \(2\) | grep file | grep system
getdents (2)            - gets directory entries in a filesystem independent format 
getdirentries (2)       - gets directory entries in a filesystem independent format
statfs, fstatfs (2)     - get file system statistics
ustat (2)               - get file system statistics
%

Try this with '\(8\)' for even more confusement.  In short, use
whatever feels better to your fingers while you type it.
