-----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Beman Dawes Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 10:23 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [BULK] [Boost-users] [filesystem] function to determine available space Importance: Low

I'm planning to add a filesystem function to determine available disk space. Perhaps something like:

struct space_status { boost::uintmax_t available; // free space available to user boost::uintmax_t total; // total space on volume };

space_status filesystem_space( const path & p );

Comments?

Standard unit of measure? Bytes? Megabytes? Gigabytes?

Bytes. Individual bytes still matter in some applications. --Beman
