Hi Darpan,

You can use I/O Kit.  Here is the equivalent in I/O Kit.

#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>
#include <IOKit/storage/IOMedia.h>
#include <IOKit/storage/IOStorageProtocolCharacteristics.h>

void callback( void * context, io_iterator_t notification )
{
    io_object_t media;

    while ( ( media = IOIteratorNext( notification ) ) )
    {
        CFDictionaryRef properties;

        properties = NULL;

        if ( properties )
        {
            CFShow( properties );

            CFRelease( properties );
        }

        if ( properties )
        {
            CFShow( properties );

            CFRelease( properties );
        }

        IOObjectRelease( media );
    }
}

int main( )
{
    IONotificationPortRef port;

    port = IONotificationPortCreate( kIOMasterPortDefault );

    if ( port )
    {
        CFMutableDictionaryRef properties;

        properties = IOServiceMatching( kIOMediaClass );

        if ( properties )
        {
            io_iterator_t notification;

            notification = 0;

            properties = 0;

            if ( notification )
            {
                callback( NULL, notification );

                CFRunLoopRun( );

                IOObjectRelease( notification );
            }
        }

        IONotificationPortDestroy( port );
    }

    return 0;
}

Hi Darpan,

Disk Arbitration is private on 10.3. It is public on 10.4. Disk Arbitration is otherwise the same on 10.3 and 10.4.

You can obtain the headers though Darwin on 10.3 at:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.9/ DiskArbitration-129.5/DiskArbitration/DADisk.h
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.9/ DiskArbitration-129.5/DiskArbitration/DASession.h
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.9/ DiskArbitration-129.5/DiskArbitration/DiskArbitration.h

You can compile with a private framework on 10.3 with:

-F/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks

You can use 10.4 as another alternative, of course.

Hi,

You might want to check out Disk Arbitration.

#include <DiskArbitration/DiskArbitration.h>

void callback( DADiskRef disk, void * context )
{
     CFDictionaryRef description;

     description = DADiskCopyDescription( disk );

     if ( description )
     {
         CFShow( description );

         CFRelease( description );
     }
}

int main( )
{
     DASessionRef session;

     session = DASessionCreate( kCFAllocatorDefault );

if ( session )
{
DASessionScheduleWithRunLoop( session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent ( ), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode );

DARegisterDiskAppearedCallback( session, kDADiskDescriptionMatchMediaWhole, callback, NULL );

         CFRunLoopRun( );

DASessionUnscheduleFromRunLoop( session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent ( ), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode );

         CFRelease( session );
     }

     return 0;
}

Hi all

I want to get the Hard disks and Removable media attached to my system and capacity of disks. Actually i want to raw read the hard disk. Currently i am picking the hard disks from "/dev/disk*" here * may be 1,2,3 depending upon the hard disks attached to system.

My problem is :
1) In case OS installed in any other language other than english then i am not able to pick the hard disks.

2) I am not able to get capacity of hard disks.

3) I am not able to differenciate whether this is removable media or hard disk.

How I can get hard disks attached,capacity,Serial no. of hard disks so that i can raw read the hard disk.


Thanks and Regards
