Object Creation

To create a filesysteminfo object, first load the brightsign/filesysteminfo module using the require() method. Then create an instance of the filesysteminfo class with a string value specifying the storage path.

var FileSystemInfoClass = require("@brightsign/filesysteminfo");
var fileSystemInfo = new FileSystemInfoClass("/storage/sd");

Use the following string values to specify different storage drives:

• "/storage/usb1" – The drive for USB storage devices connected to the player

• "/storage/sd" – The primary SD or microSD drive on the player.

• "/storage/sd2" – The internal microSD drive on the player (4Kx42, XDx32 models only)

• "/storage/ssd" – The internal SSD on the player (XTx44, XTx43, XDx34, and XDx33 models only)

FilesystemInfo

Use this interface to retrieve information about the file system.

isReadOnly()

Promise<bool> isReadOnly()

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the filesystem is read-only. 

getFilesystemType()

Promise <DOMString> getFilesystemType()

Returns the filesystem type or whether it is encrypted (“+ecryptfs”). The following are potential values:

• "exfat"

• "ext3"

• "ext4"

• "fat12"

• "fat16"

• "fat32"

• "hfs"

• "hfsplus"

• "ntfs"

• “+ecryptfs” (as of BOS version 9.0.145.1)

getStatistics()

Promise<FilesystemStats> getStatistics()

Returns a FilesystemStats interface containing information about the filesystem. This method can take a significant amount of time to return its promise.

FilesystemStats

This interface contains information about the filesystem:

• blockSize Number: The size of a native block

• sizeBytes Number: The amount of total space

• bytesFree Number: The amount of free space

• filesUsed Number: The number of used inodes

• filesFree Number: The number of free inodes

• isReadOnly bool: A flag indicating whether the filesystem is read-only.

Example

var FileSystemInfoClass = require("@brightsign/filesysteminfo");
var fileSystemInfo = new FileSystemInfoClass("/storage/sd");

fileSystemInfo.getFilesystemType().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });

fileSystemInfo.getStatistics().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });
