💖 Sys::Filesystem::Darwin — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Sys::Filesystem::Darwin 💅 this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about handing Darwin (that's Mac OS X, yes <em>that</em> one) filesystem tea over to Sys::Filesystem. pull up a chair, we're doing this 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

Sys::Filesystem::Darwin — returns Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

See Sys::Filesystem. that's it. that's the synopsis. go look at the parent, she's the main character 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so where does the filesystem info actually come from? it's taken from diskutil, the system utility that ships on Mac OS X 🎀 no cap, that's the source of truth here.

✨ INHERITANCE ✨

the family tree, look at her go 🌸

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

✨ METHODS ✨

  • version () — returns the version of the (sub)module. that's the whole vibe, short and sweet ✨

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

here's the list of filesystem properties you can query as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object 🫶

heads up bestie: the property 'label' is also set, but it can't be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet. so close 😭
  • mount_point — the mount point. usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...' 💫
  • device — the mounted device 🔌
  • format — describes the type of the filesystem. so far the following types have been encountered:
    • 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, ''). iconic behaviour honestly, nothing to see 💀

✨ BUGS ✨

ngl, it doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. if you need this, contact the author fr fr 🙈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Sys::Filesystem, diskutil — go read them, they're serving 🌈
