# Details

`Drive` - this represent a piece of hardware connected to the machine. It's generally only created for removable hardware or hardware with removable media.

`Drive` is a container class for `Volume` objects that stem from the same piece of media. As such, `Drive` abstracts a drive with (or without) removable media and provides operations for querying whether media is available, determing whether media change is automatically detected and ejecting the media.

If the `Drive` reports that media isn't automatically detected, one can poll for media; typically one should not do this periodically as a poll for media operation is potententially expensive and may spin up the drive creating noise.

`Drive` supports starting and stopping drives with authentication support for the former. This can be used to support a diverse set of use cases including connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices, powering down external disk enclosures and starting/stopping multi-disk devices such as RAID devices. Note that the actual semantics and side-effects of starting/ stopping a `Drive` may vary according to implementation. To choose the correct verbs in e.g. a file manager, use `driveGetStartStopType`.

For porting from GnomeVFS note that there is no equivalent of `Drive` in that API.

# Methods

driveGetName Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO String | returns the name for the given drive.

Gets the name of drive.

driveGetIcon Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Icon | returns a `Icon`.

Gets the icon for drive.

driveHasVolumes Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive contains volumes, `False` otherwise.

Check if drive has any mountable volumes.

driveGetVolumes :: DriveClass drive => drive -> IO [Volume]Source

Get a list of mountable volumes for drive.

driveCanEject Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive can be ejected.

Checks if drive can be eject.

driveGetStartStopType Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO DriveStartStopType | returns A value from the `DriveStartStopType` enumeration.

Gets a hint about how a drive can be started/stopped.

driveCanStart Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive can be started, `False` otherwise.

Checks if a drive can be started.

driveCanStartDegraded Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive can be started degraded, `False` otherwise.

Checks if a drive can be started degraded.

driveCanStop Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive can be stoped, `False` otherwise.

Checks if a drive can be stoped.

driveCanPollForMedia :: DriveClass drive => drive -> IO Bool Source

Checks if a drive can be polled for media changes.

drivePollForMedia :: DriveClass drive => drive -> Maybe Cancellable -> AsyncReadyCallback -> IO ()Source

Asynchronously polls drive to see if media has been inserted or removed.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call `drivePollForMediaFinish` to obtain the result of the operation.

driveHasMedia Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if drive has media, `False` otherwise.

Checks if the drive has media. Note that the OS may not be polling the drive for media changes; see `driveIsMediaCheckAutomatic` for more details.

driveIsMediaCheckAutomatic Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if the drive is capabable of automatically detecting media changes, `False` otherwise.

Checks if drive is capabable of automatically detecting media changes.

driveIsMediaRemovable Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> IO Bool | returns `True` if drive supports removable media, `False` otherwise.

Checks if the drive supports removable media.

driveEjectWithOperation Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> [MountUnmountFlags] | `flags` flags affecting the unmount if required for eject
-> Maybe MountOperation | `mountOperation` a `MountOperation` or `Nothing` to avoid user interaction.
-> Maybe Cancellable | `cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> AsyncReadyCallback | `callback` a `AsyncReadyCallback`
-> IO () |

Ejects a drive. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling `driveEjectWithOperationFinish` with the drive and `AsyncResult` data returned in the callback.

driveEjectWithOperationFinish Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> AsyncResult | `result` a `AsyncResult`.
-> IO () |

Finishes ejecting a drive. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and `False` will be returned.

Throws a `GError` if an error occurs.

driveStart Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> [DriveStartFlags] | `flags` flags affecting the start operation.
-> Maybe MountOperation | `mountOperation` a `MountOperation` or `Nothing` to avoid user interaction.
-> Maybe Cancellable | `cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> AsyncReadyCallback | `callback` a `AsyncReadyCallback`
-> IO () |

Asynchronously starts a drive.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call `driveStartFinish` to obtain the result of the operation.

driveStartFinish Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> AsyncResult | `result` a `AsyncResult`.
-> IO () |

Finishes starting a drive.

Throws a `GError` if an error occurs.

driveStopFinish Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> AsyncResult | `result` a `AsyncResult`.
-> IO () |

Finishes stoping a drive.

Throws a `GError` if an error occurs.

driveEnumerateIdentifiers :: DriveClass drive => drive -> IO [String]Source

Gets the kinds of identifiers that drive has. Use `driveGetIdentifer` to obtain the identifiers themselves.

driveGetIdentifier Source

Arguments

:: DriveClass drive |
=> drive |
-> String | `kind` the kind of identifier to return
-> IO String |

Gets the identifier of the given kind for drive. See the introduction for more information about drive identifiers.
