## Details

### UDisksLinuxDriveObject

    typedef struct _UDisksLinuxDriveObject UDisksLinuxDriveObject;

The UDisksLinuxDriveObject structure contains only private data and should only be accessed using the provided API.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_new ()

    UDisksLinuxDriveObject * udisks_linux_drive_object_new  (UDisksDaemon *daemon,
                                                             GUdevDevice *device);

Create a new drive object.

`daemon` : | A UDisksDaemon.
`device` : | The GUdevDevice for the sysfs block device.
Returns : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject object or `NULL` if `device` does not represent a drive. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_uevent ()

    void                udisks_linux_drive_object_uevent    (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                                             const gchar *action,

Updates all information on interfaces on `drive`.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
`action` : | Uevent action or `NULL`
`device` : | A GUdevDevice device object or `NULL` if the device hasn't changed.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_get_daemon ()

    UDisksDaemon *      udisks_linux_drive_object_get_daemon
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object);

Gets the daemon used by `object`.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
Returns : | A UDisksDaemon. Do not free, the object is owned by `object`.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_get_block ()

    UDisksLinuxBlockObject * udisks_linux_drive_object_get_block
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                                             gboolean get_hw);

Gets a UDisksLinuxBlockObject representing a block device associated with `object`.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
`get_hw` : | If the drive is multipath, set to `TRUE` to get a path device instead of the multipath device.
Returns : | A UDisksLinuxBlockObject or `NULL`. The returned object must be freed with `g_object_unref()`.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_get_device ()

    GUdevDevice *       udisks_linux_drive_object_get_device
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                                             gboolean get_hw);

Gets one of the GUdevDevice object associated with `object`.

If `get_hw` is `TRUE` and `object` represents a multipath device then one of the paths is returned rather than the multipath device. This is useful if you e.g. need to configure the physical hardware.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
`get_hw` : | If the drive is multipath, set to `TRUE` to get a path device instead of the multipath device.
Returns : | A GUdevDevice or `NULL`. The returned object must be freed with `g_object_unref()`.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_get_devices ()

    GList *             udisks_linux_drive_object_get_devices
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object);

Gets the current GUdevDevice objects associated with `object`.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
Returns : | A list of GUdevDevice objects. Free each element with `g_object_unref()`, then free the list with `g_list_free()`.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_housekeeping ()

    gboolean            udisks_linux_drive_object_housekeeping
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                                             guint secs_since_last,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Called periodically (every ten minutes or so) to perform housekeeping tasks such as refreshing ATA SMART data.

The function runs in a dedicated thread and is allowed to perform blocking I/O.

Long-running tasks should periodically check `cancellable` to see if they have been cancelled.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
`secs_since_last` : | Number of seconds sincex the last housekeeping or 0 if the first housekeeping ever.
`cancellable` : | A `GCancellable` or `NULL`.
`error` : | Return location for error or `NULL`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the operation succeeded, `FALSE` if `error` is set.

### udisks_linux_drive_object_is_not_in_use ()

    gboolean            udisks_linux_drive_object_is_not_in_use
                                                            (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Checks if the drive represented by `object` is in use and sets `error` if so.

`object` : | A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
`cancellable` : | A GCancellable or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`error` : | A GError or `NULL`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if `object` is not is use, `FALSE` if `error` is set.
