Re: [Boost-users] list all drives

Hi,

I am programming on a widows system. Is it possible to list all drives available in a system with boost::filesystem library or any other boost library?

I have gone through boost::filesystem documentation, but could not find any :(

Thanks a lot, Lloyd

Hi Lloyd, Because the concept of drives is unique to Windows, Boost Filesystem does not implement such a function. Boost Filesystem and all Boost libraries are designed to be cross-platform. To obtain a list of drives, you should instead use the Windows API function `GetLogicalDriveStrings`: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364975.aspx Daniel
