| Allegro CL version 6.2 Unrevised from 6.1 |
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.
