Arguments: device-name
Returns a keyword indicating the physical type of drive named by
device. device-name may be a character (such as
#\C); a string ("C" or "C:"); or a symbol (:c), in which case the
printname will be used. Possible returned values include :removable
(includes diskette drives), :fixed (regular hard disks), :remote (a
networked drive on another machine), :cdrom, :ramdisk,
:no-root-directory (for a drive that appears not to be set up),
:unknown (drive type cannot be determined). If the filesystem is not
mounted, nil
is returned.
The home package of the symbol naming this function is
windows
but for backward compatibility, it is also
exported from the common-graphics
package. Therefore, this function is available even in images into
which the :winapi
module has been loaded but the
Common Graphics and IDE modules have not.
