getdrive

Returns the name of the current drive. Windows only.

int getdrive( void); 

The getdrive function returns an integer representing the drive letter: 1 = A, 2 = B, etc.

Example

The following example uses getdrive to save the current place in the file system, before moving to all other available drives. It finally returns to the original drive.

    int ch, drive, curdrive;
    static char path[1024];

    // Save current drive letter so it can be restored later 

    curdrive = getdrive();

    // If we can switch to the drive, it exists

    lr_output_message ("Available drives are:");
    for (drive = 1; drive <= 26; drive++)
    if (!chdrive(drive))
        lr_output_message ("%c: ", drive + 'A' - 1);
        chdrive(curdrive); // Restore original drive 

Example: Output:
Action.c(10): Available drives are:
Action.c(14): C: 
Action.c(14): D: 
Action.c(14): G: 
Action.c(14): L:
Action.c(14): R: 
Action.c(14): Z:
