The stat(2) documentation for SunOS 4.0.3 says:
long st_blksize; /* preferred blocksize for file system I/O*/
long st_blocks; /* actual number of blocks allocated */
It doesn't mention what units st_blocks is measured in, but those
units don't look like they're the value of st_blksize.
How are these two fields related, if at all?
Is st_blocks always measured in 512 byte units, or is there a value
somewhere that indicates the block size for it?
