Crate block_devs[−][src]
Expand description
Block Devs provides safe wrappers for the ioctl calls for dealing with block devices (USB sticks, SSDs, hard drives etc).
It aims to provide a consitent interface across all platforms for things like getting the number of bytes a disk has.
So far Linux, macOS and Open BSD are supported
It does this by a extention trait (BlckExt
) on the standard File
struct.
use block_devs::BlckExt; use std::fs::File; let path = "/dev/sda2"; let file = File::open(path).unwrap(); let count = file.get_block_count().unwrap(); let bytes = file.get_block_device_size().unwrap(); let gb = bytes >> 30; println!("disk is {} blocks totaling {}gb", count, gb);
