There's a link to GetDiskFreeSpaceExA() which seems much easier to use
because it accepts any directory on the drive in question:

So, how about:

pg_tablespace_disk_space -> total_bytes | free_bytes

The inode numbers are probably not very interesting in a PG tablespace
as we don't create that many files. Or do we think including these
counters (on UNIX) makes sense?

There's precedents for leaving fields NULL where not supported by the
OS, for example pg_stat_file() returns "change" on UNIX only, and
"creation" on Windows only.
