+.TH IOCTL-XFS-AG-GEOMETRY 2 2019-08-30 "XFS"
+.SH NAME
+ioctl_xfs_ag_geometry \- query XFS allocation group geometry information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.br
+.B #include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int ioctl(int " fd ", XFS_IOC_AG_GEOMETRY, struct xfs_ag_geometry *" arg );
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This XFS ioctl retrieves the geometry information for a given allocation group.
+The geometry information is conveyed in a structure of the following form:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+struct xfs_ag_geometry {
+	uint32_t  ag_number;
+	uint32_t  ag_length;
+	uint32_t  ag_freeblks;
+	uint32_t  ag_icount;
+	uint32_t  ag_ifree;
+	uint32_t  ag_sick;
+	uint32_t  ag_checked;
+	uint32_t  ag_flags;
+	uint64_t  ag_reserved[12];
+};
+.fi
+.in
+.TP
+.I ag_number
+The caller must set this field to the index of the allocation group that the
+caller wishes to learn about.
+.TP
+.I ag_length
+The length of the allocation group is returned in this field, in units of
+filesystem blocks.
+.TP
+.I ag_freeblks
+The number of free blocks in the allocation group is returned in this field, in
+units of filesystem blocks.
+.TP
+.I ag_icount
+The number of inode records allocated in this allocation group is returned in
+this field.
+.TP
+.I ag_ifree
+The number of unused inode records (of the space allocated) in this allocation
+group is returned in this field.
+.TP
+.I ag_flags
+The caller can set this field to change the operational behavior of the ioctl.
+Currently no flags are defined, so this field must be zero.
+.TP
+.IR ag_reserved
+All reserved fields will be set to zero on return.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
+.TP
+.B EFSBADCRC
+Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EFSCORRUPTED
+Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The specified allocation group number is not valid for this filesystem.
+.TP
+.B EIO
+An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This API is specific to XFS filesystem on the Linux kernel.
