Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3)

NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin - Return Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem

SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.

DESCRIPTION
The filesystem information is taken from diskutil, the system utility supplied on Mac OS X.

INHERITANCE
  Sys::Filesystem::Darwin
  ISA Sys::Filesystem::Unix
    ISA UNIVERSAL

METHODS

version ()
    Return the version of the (sub)module.

ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.

The property 'label' is also set, but cannot be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet.

mount_point
    The mount point (usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...').

device
    The mounted device

format
    Describes the type of the filesystem. So far I encountered the following types:

    hfs The standard Mac OS X HFS(+) filesystem. Disk images (.dmg) and Mac Software DVDs normally also use the HFS(+) format.

    msdos
        DOS image files (e.g. floppy disk images)

    cd9660
        CD-ROM image files or real CD-ROMs

    cddafs
        Audio CDs

    udf UDF filesystem (e.g. DVDs)

(empty)
    For mounted FTP servers, disktool returns an empty filesystem type (ie, '').

BUGS
Doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. Contact the author if you need this.
