您可能知道，struct stat info调用返回的是文件的总大小（以字节为单位），并且是存储在磁盘上的字节数。 stat()info.st_sizeinfo.st_blocks*512
在 Linux 中，文件系统将数据存储在对齐的info.st_blksize字节块中。（这也意味着它info.st_blocks*512可以大于info.st_size（最多info.st_blksize-1字节）。如果文件稀疏，它也可以更小。）
未存储的数据（稀疏文件中的空洞）和显式归零的存储数据都读为零。
如果您想知道文件中有多少个零填充块，则需要读取整个文件。使用大小为info.st_blksize字节整数倍的缓冲区。对于每个对齐的st_blksize字节块，检查它们是否全为零。令总块数（包括最后可能的部分块）为total_blocks，且所有内容为零的块数为zero_blocks。
struct stat info;
/* Number of filesystem blocks for the file */
total_blocks = info.st_size / info.st_blksize
+ (info.st_size % info.st_blksize) ? 1 : 0;
/* Number of bytes stored for the file */
stored_bytes = 512 * info.st_blocks;
/* Number of filesystem blocks used for file data */
stored_blocks = stored_bytes / info.st_blksize
+ (stored_bytes % info.st_blksize) ? 1 : 0;
/* Number of sparse blocks */
sparse_blocks = total_blocks - stored_blocks;
/* TODO: count zero_blocks,
* by reading file in info.st_blksize chunks,
* and saving the number of all-zero chunks
* in zero_blocks. */
/* Number of stored zero blocks */
zeroed_blocks = zero_blocks - sparse_blocks;
转换成字节，你有
info.st_size是以字节为单位的文件大小stored_blocks*info.st_blksize是磁盘上使用的字节数sparse_blocks*info.st_blksize是磁盘上稀疏孔中的字节数zeroed_blocks*info.st_blksize是磁盘上不必要存储的零字节数；本来可以存储为稀疏孔
请注意，您可以使用cp --sparse=always --preserve=all SOURCEFILE TARGETFILE创建文件的相同副本，但“优化”稀疏性，以便将足够长的零字节运行存储为空洞；这可以帮助您测试您的程序。详情请参阅man 1 cp。您还可以使用dd if=/dev/zero of=TARGETFILE bs=BLOCKSIZE count=BLOCKS;创建长的零序列。请参阅man 1 dd和man 4 null了解详情。
编辑添加：
这是一个示例函数，examine()它打开指定的文件，获取统计信息，并在必要时（即请求存储不必要的零的数量）读取整个文件。
我只是对它进行了简单的测试，但它应该实现上面的逻辑。
它非常粗糙；我最关注的是正确的错误检查和动态内存分配/释放的正确性。（它应该检查并返回所有错误条件，甚至是一些不应该发生的错误，并且永远不会泄漏内存。也就是说，除非我在代码中有错误或想法——欢迎更正。）
最好将其拆分为更小、更易于管理的功能。

为了可移植性，所有返回参数都是 64 位无符号整数，并以字节为单位指定相应的大小。请注意，它(*storedptr)+(*sparseptr)定义了向上舍入到下一个倍数的字节总数(*blocksizeptr)。(*zeroesptr)仅包括显式存储的零，不包括稀疏孔。再次，将其(*zeroesptr)视为不必要存储的零的数量。
我曾经rm -f test ; dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=10000 seek=3 count=1生成一个test有 30,000 字节孔后跟 10,000 个零的文件。examine()返回size=40000, blocksize=4096, stored=12288, sparse=28672, zeroed=12288，这对我来说似乎是正确的。
问题？
