storage-device-info

Obtain information about storage devices.

This module is installed using node package manager (npm):

# This module contains C++ source code which will be compiled
# during installation using node-gyp.  A suitable build chain
# must be configured before installation.

npm install storage-device-info

It is loaded using the require() function:

var storage = require ("storage-device-info");

Storage information can then be obtained:

storage.getPartitionSpace("c:\\", function(error, space) {
   console.dir(space);
});

storage.getPartitionSpace("/opt", function(error, space) {
   console.dir(space);
});

Using This Module

Currently this module exports only the function getPartitionSpace().

storage.getPartitionSpace(path, callback)

The getPartitionSpace() function obtains space utilisation information for the partition on which the path exists.

For example, on Windows, the c:\\temp directory is located on the c:\\ partition, and so space utilisation information will be obtained for the c:\\ partition.

The callback function is called once space information has been obtained. The following arguments will be passed to the callback function:

  • error - Instance of the Error class, or null if no error occurred
  • space - An object which will have the following attributes:
    • totalMegaBytes
    • freeMegaBytes

The following example obtains space information for the / partition on which the /opt directory is located:

storage.getPartitionSpace("/opt", function(error, space) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log("total: " + space.totalMegaBytes + "\n"
            + "free: " + space.freeMegaBytes + "\n");
    }
});
