Subject: [ruby-talk:30241] Re: How to check free diskspace?

btw-just to follow up, I took a look at the
Python 'ntpath' module used on Windows
platforms by os.path and it did make
some attempt to deal with things like
UNC filenames and such, so I may
have undersold it.  Although they
didn't completely handle the drive
letter issue it would probably still
make a good starting point if 
someone were inclinded to write
a similar module in Ruby.

The calls for getting free drive space per se
are in a Win32 API module but the more
general file functions are in ntpath.

Here's a list of the functions implemented:

__all__ = ["normcase","isabs","join","splitdrive","split","splitext",
           "basename","dirname","commonprefix","getsize","getmtime",
           "getatime","islink","exists","isdir","isfile","ismount",

"walk","expanduser","expandvars","normpath","abspath","splitunc"]
