StorageCharacteristics Property

The characteristic flags to create the virtual drive with. (Windows only).

Syntax

 fuse.getStorageCharacteristics([callback])
 fuse.setStorageCharacteristics( storageCharacteristics, [callback])

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getStorageCharacteristics([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setStorageCharacteristics([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

The system, as well as other applications, use these flags to optimize their use of the virtual drive. This property should be set by OR'ing together zero or more of the following flags:


STGC_FLOPPY_DISKETTE	`0x00000001`	The storage is a floppy disk device.
STGC_READONLY_DEVICE	`0x00000002`	The storage is a read-only device.
STGC_WRITE_ONCE_MEDIA	`0x00000008`	The storage device's media can only be written to once.
STGC_REMOVABLE_MEDIA	`0x00000010`	The storage device's media is removable. Users may remove the storage media from the virtual drive at any time. (Note that this flag does not indicate that the virtual drive itself is removable.)

Note: This property cannot be changed when the drive is mounted, and cannot be changed within events.
