file-system-info

Arguments: device-name

Returns a plist containing miscellaneous information about a particular filesystem. 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. If the information cannot be determined for any reason, nil is returned. Typically, if device-name names a CD drive whose door is open of which does not contain a CD, or a floppy drive without a floppy, nil is returned.

A plist is a list with an even number of elements where the 1st, 3rd, etc. elements are labels, often keywords, and the 2nd, 4th, etc. elements are values associated with the corresponding label.

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.
