path specifies the absolute path to the file or directory whose volume attributes you want to determine. If you specify an empty or relative path, this function returns an error. |
 |
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. |
 |
volume path is a new path that specifies the volume on which the specified file or directory resides. |
|
path out returns path unchanged. |
 |
size (bytes) indicates the amount of storage, in bytes, provided by the specified volume. |
|
free (bytes) indicates the amount of storage, in bytes, available on the specified volume. |
 |
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
 |
sector size (bytes) indicates the size, in bytes, of the smallest physical storage unit on disk. If you open a file without buffering, you must make the size of the data in that file a multiple of the given sector size. |
The volume where the file is located determines the sector size.
