Use
The purpose of this call is to find the natural block size of a given file.
Notes
When you create or extend a file, disc space can only be allocated in chunks of a minimum size (512 bytes, for example). If your file is just 1 byte long for example, 511 bytes of disc space may have to be wasted after it if the natural block size is 512.
