Does System Profiler provide you with what you need? Look at the system_profiler man pages for output formats and the like.

Hello,
I need a way to get the device description for a mounted drive.  The
command-line program 'diskutil' does not provide this info.  Either
the description or the vendor or device ID would be fine.  As an
example, I'd like to have a method that did this:

NSString *description = [DeviceManager
descriptionForDevice:@"/Volumes/Untitled"];

Obviously that doesn't exist, and the solution doesn't have to be
cocoa, if it doesn't exist. Are there any elegant ways to do this, or
command-line programs I can use NSTask on to get this information?

Thanks,

Michael
