| UINT GetDriveType(lpszRootPathName) | |||||
| LPTSTR lpszRootPathName; | /* optional root path | */ | |||
The GetDriveType function determines whether a disk drive is removable, fixed, CD ROM, RAM disk, or a network drive.
lpszRootPathName
Points to a null-terminated string specifying the root directory of the disk to return information about. If lpszRootPathName is NULL, the root of the current directory is used.
The return value specifies the type of drive. It can be one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| 0 | The drive type cannot be determined. |
| 1 | The root directory does not exist. |
| DRIVE_REMOVABLE | Disk can be removed from the drive. |
| DRIVE_FIXED | Disk cannot be removed from the drive. |
| DRIVE_REMOTE | Drive is a remote (network) drive. |
| DRIVE_CDROM | Drive is a CD ROM drive. |
| DRIVE_RAMDISK | Drive is a RAM disk. |
The GetDriveType function may be used as either a wide-character function (where text arguments must use Unicode) or an ANSI function (where text arguments must use characters from the Windows 3.x character set installed).
