FreeSpaceKb() with no input arguments
-------------------------------------
Key: IO-194
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-194
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Utilities
Environment: All environments
Reporter: Morten Simonsen
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 1.5
For those of us not yet on JDK 1.6, this function is very useful. I was a bit
put off when I first saw the interface of the method, since it seemed to me
that I had to figure out whether I wanted C:\ or /hda1 or some other string to
perform the disk-size-command upon. After a short while it dawned upon me to
use this piece of code:
/* Returns the disk size of the volume which holds the working
directory */
public static long freeSpaceKb() throws IOException {
return freeSpaceKb(new File(".").getAbsolutePath());
}
Tested on Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu 8.04.
Anyway, if this code is really platform-independant, I suggest to add the
method shown, even though all users of the IO library should be able to figure
out themselves. However, it makes it even clearer that the code is
cross-platform compatible with no effort.
