_getdiskfree

Visual Studio .NET 2003

Populates a _diskfree_t structure with information about a disk drive.

unsigned _getdiskfree(
   unsigned drive,
   struct _diskfree_t * driveinfo
);

Parameters

drive: The disk drive for which you want information.
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. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

See the direct.h header file for the definition of the _diskfree_t structure.

Requirements
