How to detect total available/free disk space on the iPhone/iPad device?

Question

I'm looking for a better way to detect available/free disk space on the iPhone/iPad device programmatically.
Currently I'm using the NSFileManager to detect the disk space. Following is the snippet of the code which does the job for me:

-(unsigned)getFreeDiskspacePrivate { NSDictionary *atDict = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfFileSystemForPath:@"/" error:NULL]; unsigned freeSpace = [[atDict objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeSize] unsignedIntValue]; NSLog(@"%s - Free Diskspace: %u bytes - %u MiB", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, freeSpace, (freeSpace/1024)/1024);  return freeSpace; } 

Am I correct with the above snippet? or is there any better way to know total available/free disk space.
I've to detect total free disk space, since we've to prevent our application to perform sync in the low disk space scenario.

Original answer: I found the following solution working for me:

-(uint64_t)getFreeDiskspace {     uint64_t totalSpace = 0;     uint64_t totalFreeSpace = 0;     NSError *error = nil;       NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);       NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfFileSystemForPath:[paths lastObject] error: &error];        if (dictionary) {           NSNumber *fileSystemSizeInBytes = [dictionary objectForKey: NSFileSystemSize];           NSNumber *freeFileSystemSizeInBytes = [dictionary objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeSize];         totalSpace = [fileSystemSizeInBytes unsignedLongLongValue];         totalFreeSpace = [freeFileSystemSizeInBytes unsignedLongLongValue];         NSLog(@"Memory Capacity of %llu MiB with %llu MiB Free memory available.", ((totalSpace/1024ll)/1024ll), ((totalFreeSpace/1024ll)/1024ll));     } else {           NSLog(@"Error Obtaining System Memory Info: Domain = %@, Code = %ld", [error domain], (long)[error code]);     }        return totalFreeSpace; } 

It returns me exactly the size that iTunes displays when device is connected to machine.
