# Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3pm)

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

## 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.
