diskfree

node-diskfree

This implements a shared interface to the unix-like and windows disk space readers. It is implemented in C++ using the Node Addons API

Unix runs on the statvfs systemcall Windows runs on the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx systemcall

This utility will return the correct error number from the respective systemcall.

Installation

Install with npm

npm install disk-space

Install Locally

npm install Saevon/node-diskfree.git --save

Usage

var diskfree = require('diskfree');
diskfree.check('C:', function onDiskInfo(error, info) {
    if (error) {
        // You can see if its a known error
        if (diskfree.isErrBadPath(err)) {
            throw new Error('Path is Wrong');
        } else if (diskfree.isErrDenied(error)) {
            throw new Error('Permission Denied');
        } else if (diskfree.isErrIO(error)) {
            throw new Error('IO Error');
        }
 
        throw new Error('Unknown error: ' + error);
    }
 
    info.free == "Free Space";
    info.available == "User Available Space";
    info.total == "Total Space":
    info.used == "Used Space";
    info.locked == "OS locked";
});

diskfree.check(diskPath, callback):

Grabs disk space information

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
diskPath	String	Directory to check
callback	function	callback(error, diskInfo)

diskInfo

All space values are in bytes. If the value exceeds the maximum size of a double 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF F800 then this returns Infinity

Name	Type	Description
free	Number	Free space
available	Number	User Available free space
used	Number	Used space
total	Number	Total space
locked	Number	OS locked Space (Unavailable to user)

error

Error will be undefined if the operation succeeds, otherwise check the system error list to find the problem.

Note that your specific system will might have its own error codes

Windows System Error Codes Unix-Like errno.h

diskfree.isErrBadPath(error):

Returns true if the errorcode is one of the windows/unix errorcodes that indicate the path was wrong.

Note: this might only identify some pathing errors.

diskfree.isErrDenied(error):

Returns true if the errorcode is one of the windows/unix errorcodes that indicate permission was denied

Note: this might only identify some permission errors.

diskfree.isErrIO(error):

Returns true if the errorcode is one of the windows/unix errorcodes that indicate there was an io error

Note: this might only identify some IO errors.

Testing

To test just the base C code, run the test.exe

make test-c

To run the node test

make test-js

Compiling

To compile just the C code run the following

make

Reminder: You need make on windows, in MingW you need to adds it binary path /c/MingW/bin/mingw32-make.exe
