Example #1 : Using shutil.disk_usage() method to know about memory usage statistics of GeeksforGeeks server. Python3

# Python program to explain shutil.disk_usage() method 
     
# importing os module 
import os 
 
# importing shutil module 
import shutil 
 
# path 
# As the path for GFG is root so '/' is used
path = '/'

# Using shutil.disk_usage() method
memory = shutil.disk_usage(path) 

# Print result
print(memory)
