#include <dos.h> int _media_type( const int drive ); |
This function checks if drive number drive (1 == A:, 2 == B:, etc., 0 == default drive) is fixed or removable.
_media_type should only be called after you are sure the drive
isn't a CD-ROM or a RAM disk, since these might fool you with this
call.
1 if the drive is a fixed disk, 0 if it is removable. -1 on error.
| ANSI/ISO C | No |
| POSIX | No |
