GetDiskFreeSpace
The GetDiskFreeSpace function retrieves information about the specified disk, including the amount
of free space on the disk.
BOOL GetDiskFreeSpace(
LPCTSTR lpRootPathName,
| // address of root path
| LPDWORD lpSectorsPerCluster,
| // address of sectors per cluster
| LPDWORD lpBytesPerSector,
| // address of bytes per sector
| LPDWORD lpNumberOfFreeClusters,
| // address of number of free clusters
| LPDWORD lpTotalNumberOfClusters
| // address of total number of clusters
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpRootPathName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the root directory of the
disk to return information about. If lpRootPathName is NULL, the function uses the root of the current directory.
lpSectorsPerCluster
Points to a variable for the number of sectors per cluster.
lpBytesPerSector
Points to a variable for the number of bytes per sector.
lpNumberOfFreeClusters
Points to a variable for the total number of free clusters on the disk.
lpTotalNumberOfClusters
Points to a variable for the total number of clusters on the disk.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Windows 95:
The GetDiskFreeSpace function returns incorrect values for volumes that are larger than 2
gigabytes. The function caps the values stored into *lpNumberOfFreeClusters and *lpTotalNumberOfClusters so as to never report volume sizes that are greater than 2 gigabytes.
Even on volumes that are smaller than 2 gigabytes, the values stored into *lpSectorsPerCluster, *lpNumberOfFreeClusters, and *lpTotalNumberOfClusters values may be incorrect. That is because the operating system manipulates the
values so that computations with them yield the correct volume size.
Windows 95 OSR 2: The GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function is available on Windows 95 systems beginning with OEM Service
Release 2 (OSR 2). The GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function returns correct values for all volumes, including those that are
greater than 2 gigabytes.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
