Checks if a drive can be ejected.
Checks if a drive can be polled for media changes.
Checks if a drive can be started.
Checks if a drive can be started degraded.
Checks if a drive can be stopped.
Connect to Changed signal.
Connect to Disconnected signal.
Connect to EjectButton signal.
Connect to StopButton signal.
Asynchronously ejects a drive.
Finishes ejecting a drive.
Ejects a drive. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling gio.drive.Drive.ejectWithOperationFinish with the drive and #GAsyncResult data returned in the callback.
Finishes ejecting a drive. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.
Gets the kinds of identifiers that drive has. Use gio.drive.Drive.getIdentifier to obtain the identifiers themselves.
Gets the icon for drive.
Gets the identifier of the given kind for drive. The only identifier currently available is G_DRIVE_IDENTIFIER_KIND_UNIX_DEVICE.
Gets the name of drive.
Gets the sort key for drive, if any.
Gets a hint about how a drive can be started/stopped.
Gets the icon for drive.
Get a list of mountable volumes for drive.
Checks if the drive has media. Note that the OS may not be polling the drive for media changes; see gio.drive.Drive.isMediaCheckAutomatic for more details.
Check if drive has any mountable volumes.
Checks if drive is capable of automatically detecting media changes.
Checks if the drive supports removable media.
Checks if the #GDrive and/or its media is considered removable by the user. See gio.drive.Drive.isMediaRemovable.
Asynchronously polls drive to see if media has been inserted or removed.
Finishes an operation started with gio.drive.Drive.pollForMedia on a drive.
Asynchronously starts a drive.
Finishes starting a drive.
Asynchronously stops a drive.
Finishes stopping a drive.
gio.drive.Drive represents a piece of hardware connected to the machine. It’s generally only created for removable hardware or hardware with removable media.
gio.drive.Drive is a container class for gio.volume.Volume objects that stem from the same piece of media. As such, gio.drive.Drive abstracts a drive with (or without) removable media and provides operations for querying whether media is available, determining whether media change is automatically detected and ejecting the media.
If the gio.drive.Drive reports that media isn’t automatically detected, one can poll for media; typically one should not do this periodically as a poll for media operation is potentially expensive and may spin up the drive creating noise.
gio.drive.Drive supports starting and stopping drives with authentication support for the former. This can be used to support a diverse set of use cases including connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices, powering down external disk enclosures and starting/stopping multi-disk devices such as RAID devices. Note that the actual semantics and side-effects of starting/stopping a gio.drive.Drive may vary according to implementation. To choose the correct verbs in e.g. a file manager, use gio.drive.Drive.getStartStopType.
For porting from GnomeVFS note that there is no equivalent of gio.drive.Drive in that API.
