space=windrivespace(DriveLetterString);
|
|
|
|
| Input: |
| DriveLetterString |
string containing the drive letter (e.g. 'C' or 'D'
etc)
NOTE:
only the drive letter (with no other characters)
should be contained in the string
|
|
| Output: |
| space |
a
3-vector containing the following results:
space[1]
-- the total size of the drive (in bytes)
space[2] -- the total free space on the drive (in
bytes)
space[3] -- the free space allocated to you (in bytes)
Note:
space[3] may be less than the total free space, depending
on the Administrative settings on your computer.
If the query fails for whatever reason, the result
[0 0 0] is returned. This can happen if, for example,
the specified drive doesn't exist on a given machine.

| This
function is implemented as a mex function (Windows DLL)
called windrivespace.dll.
The accompanying windrivespace.m
file simply contains the help comments for access via
the usual MATLAB 'help' command. |
