OSX: How to get a volume name (or bsd name) from a IOUSBDeviceInterface or location id
- by LG
Hi,
I'm trying to write an app that associates a particular USB string descriptor (of a USB mass storage device) with its volume or bsd name.
So the code goes through all the connected USB devices, gets the string descriptors and extracts information from one of them. I would like to get the volume name of those USB devices. I can't find the right API to do that.
I have tried to do that:
DASessionRef session = DASessionCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
DADiskRef disk_ref = DADiskCreateFromIOMedia(kCFAllocatorDefault,
session,
usb_device_ref);
const char* name = DADiskGetBSDName(disk_ref);
But the DADiskCreateFromIOMedia function returned nil, I assume the usb_device_ref that I passed was not compatible with the io_service_t that the function is expecting.
So how can I get the volume name of a USB device?
Could I use the location id to do that?
Thanks for reading.
