NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin - Return Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
DESCRIPTION
The filesystem information is taken from diskutil, the system utility supplied on Mac OS X.
METHODS
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
The property 'label' is also set, but cannot be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet.
- mount_point
-
The mount point (usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...').
- device
-
The mounted device
- format
-
Describes the type of the filesystem. So far I encountered the following types:
- hfs
-
The standard Mac OS X HFS(+) filesystem. Disk images (.dmg) and Mac Software DVDs normally also use the HFS(+) format.
- msdos
-
DOS image files (e.g. floppy disk images)
- cd9660
-
CD-ROM image files or real CD-ROMs
- cddafs
-
Audio CDs
- udf
-
UDF filesystem (e.g. DVDs)
- (empty)
-
For mounted FTP servers, disktool returns an empty filesystem type (ie, '').
BUGS
Doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. Contact me if you need this.
