file-system-type

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.
