Thanks Daniel. I was thinking of utilizing the portability of Boost :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Trebbien" <dtrebbien@gmail.com> To: <boost-users@lists.boost.org> Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 4:20 AM Subject: 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
