Method Details

DASessionCreate

DiskArbitration.DASessionRef DASessionCreate(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef alloc)

Creates a new session. The caller of this function receives a reference to the returned object.

The caller also implicitly retains the object and is responsible for releasing it with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef).

Parameters:

alloc - The allocator object to be used to allocate memory.

Returns:

A reference to a new DASession.

DADiskCreateFromBSDName

DiskArbitration.DADiskRef DADiskCreateFromBSDName(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef alloc,
 DiskArbitration.DASessionRef session,
 String diskName)

Creates a new disk object. The caller of this function receives a reference to the returned object.

The caller also implicitly retains the object and is responsible for releasing it with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef).

Parameters:

alloc - The allocator object to be used to allocate memory.

session - The DASession in which to contact Disk Arbitration.

diskName - the BSD device name.

Returns:

A reference to a new DADisk.

DADiskCreateFromIOMedia

DiskArbitration.DADiskRef DADiskCreateFromIOMedia(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef allocator,
 DiskArbitration.DASessionRef session,
 IOKit.IOObject media)

Creates a new disk object. The caller of this function receives a reference to the returned object.

The caller also implicitly retains the object and is responsible for releasing it with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef).

Parameters:

allocator - The allocator object to be used to allocate memory.

session - The DASession in which to contact Disk Arbitration.

media - The I/O Kit media object.

Returns:

A reference to a new DADisk.

DADiskCopyDescription

CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef DADiskCopyDescription(DiskArbitration.DADiskRef disk)

Obtains the Disk Arbitration description of the specified disk. This function will contact Disk Arbitration to acquire the latest description of the specified disk, unless this function is called on a disk object passed within the context of a registered callback, in which case the description is current as of that callback event.

The caller of this function receives a reference to the returned object. The caller also implicitly retains the object and is responsible for releasing it with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef).

Parameters:

disk - The DADisk for which to obtain the Disk Arbitration description.

Returns:

The disk's Disk Arbitration description.

DADiskGetBSDName

String DADiskGetBSDName(DiskArbitration.DADiskRef disk)

Obtains the BSD device name for the specified disk.

Parameters:

disk - The DADisk for which to obtain the BSD device name.

Returns:

The disk's BSD device name.
