_getdiskfree
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at _getdiskfree.
Uses information about a disk drive to populate a _diskfree_t structure.
Important
This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, see CRT functions not supported with /ZW.
Syntax
unsigned _getdiskfree(
unsigned drive,
struct _diskfree_t * driveinfo
);
Parameters
[in] drive
The disk drive for which you want information.
[out] driveinfo
A _diskfree_t structure that will be populated with information about the drive.
Return Value
If the function succeeds, the return value is zero. If the function fails, the return value is the error code. The value errno is set for any errors that are returned by the operating system. For more information about error conditions that are indicated by errno, see errno Constants.
Remarks
The _diskfree_t structure is defined in Direct.h.
struct _diskfree_t {
unsigned total_clusters;
unsigned avail_clusters;
unsigned sectors_per_cluster;
unsigned bytes_per_sector;
};
This function validates its parameters. If the driveinfo pointer is NULL or drive specifies an invalid drive, this function invokes an invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, the function returns EINVAL and sets errno to EINVAL. Valid drives range from 0 to 26. A drive value of 0 specifies the current drive; thereafter, numbers map to letters of the English alphabet such that 1 indicates drive A, 3 indicates drive C, and so on.
total_clusters
The total number of clusters, both used and available, on the disk.
avail_clusters
The number of unused clusters on the disk.
sectors_per_cluster
The number of sectors in each cluster.
bytes_per_sector
The size of each sector in bytes.
