- The external program will be passed a single parameter indicating

- of the string <filename moreinfo="none">./</filename>. The script should return two
- integers in ASCII. The first should be the total disk space in blocks,
- and the second should be the number of available blocks. An optional
- third return value can give the block size in bytes. The default
- blocksize is 1024 bytes.
