Same application i developed in windows. I used to store the volume serial number of the CD that was first time used to run my application. How can i get Volume Serial Number of the CD here?(I found stat() of BSD. It returns several volume information parameters. Can i get volume serial number from stat()?)
Volume serial numbers, as such, are a Windows-specific concept.
Mac OS X supports the notion of a volume UUID, but not all file systems support it. It should be supported for a CD or a hard disk, though.
There are a couple of APIs that can obtain that. As mentioned, Disk Arbitration is one. The getattrlist() function is another.
