+To calculate disk space from a `StatFs` object, multiply the block count
+properties by the fundamental block size (`statfs.frsize`) to convert
+them to bytes. Pass `{ bigint: true }` to avoid loss of precision on
+large file systems:
+
+```mjs
+import { statfs } from 'node:fs/promises';
+
+const stats = await statfs('/', { bigint: true });
+const blockSize = stats.frsize;
+
+console.log(`Total: ${stats.blocks * blockSize} bytes`);
+console.log(`Free:  ${stats.bfree * blockSize} bytes`);
+console.log(`Available: ${stats.bavail * blockSize} bytes`);
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { statfs } = require('node:fs');
+
+statfs('/', { bigint: true }, (err, stats) => {
+  if (err) throw err;
+  const blockSize = stats.frsize;
+
+  console.log(`Total: ${stats.blocks * blockSize} bytes`);
+  console.log(`Free:  ${stats.bfree * blockSize} bytes`);
+  console.log(`Available: ${stats.bavail * blockSize} bytes`);
