Drive statistics

Hello,

Is it possible to get HDD total and free space statistics from LISP? Actually I'm looking for a function similar to (dos_chkdsk [drive]) for Windows.

Regards, Vaidas

Rdos_chkdsk <!-- span.hcp1 { font-weight:bold; } span.hcp2 { font-style:italic; } --> dos_chkdsk <!-- span.hcp1 { font-weight:bold; } span.hcp2 { font-style:italic; } -->

    Dear Vaidas :-)
    I remember to have seen some VLA based Lisp code that uses the "WMI" system object
    to retrieve several informations ... that should also offer to retrieve disk apce etc

    If necessary, I can send you a small smaple code, incl. the WMI IDL files, so you can
    veify which interfaces + methods + proprties are provided by WMI.

    Many greetings, Torsten

    Hello Torsten!

    Can you email me sample codes to vg (at) in-axis.com ? Thank you!

    Best regards, Vaidas

    Thank you, Torsten, for your help. It works fine on Windows, but with error on Linux:

    ; error : no function definition <VLAX-CREATE-OBJECT> at [FUNCTION]

    Dear Vaidas,
    indeed, the Lisp engine for linux is not yet complete -
    most VLA / VLAX stuff is still missing, but will be implemented
    in next ~2 months ...

    Only 4 functions will not be available :
    vlax-create-object, vlax-get-or-create-object, vlax-import-typelibrary (and 1 more, I just forgot)

    The problem is, that we will have a kind of "COM" emulation, but it can only work with
    objects from "inside CAD system" ...
    thus, we can not create or instantiate other objects outside Bricscad then.

    And the WMI is a true Windows specific interface, which is either not available under Linux.

    But that points me to an idea - once we will have "COM" Lisp part completed, I could
    also start to add DosLib functions into Lisp engine ... and/or ask McNeel, whether they
    would like to provide their DosLib code for us (to port to Linux), or whether they would do.

    But from other developers as well, there is some demand to have DosLib functions in Linux as well ...

    Many greetings, Torsten

    Good morning, Torsten :)

    All stuff you just mentioned is very interesting and sure, awaited. DosLib's for Linux idea is very welcome and I believe, lots of LISP developers will be happy if it will be implemented . Thanks for thinking about that and I will wait for your news about this item.

    Best regards from one of your fans!
