Getting Available Free Disk Space

[Marc Reichelt]

Hi Harold,

is there any API-conform and platform-independend way
for getting the free disk space of a harddrive?

All code-snippets I found were just bad workarounds.

So, do anyone know a good way for doing this?

I searched for 15 minutes now, and I only found those bad workarounds that you found too.
I think the best method would be to use the binarys of the different operating systems, on linux it would be "du" (standing for disk usage).

This is quite a bit problematic because this function _really_ depends on the specific os, and (of course) the used file system. :-(
