Arguments: device
Returns a keyword indicating the physical type of drive named by
device. Device may be a character (such as #\C), a string ("C" or
"C:"), or a symbol (:c, the printname will be used). Possible returned
values include :removable (includes diskette drives), :fixed (regular
hard disks), :remote (a networked drive on another machine), :cdrom,
:ramdisk, :no-root-directory (for a drive that appears not to be set
up), :unknown (drive type cannot be determined). If the filesystem is
not mounted, nil is returned.
The actual home package of the symbol naming this function is the
windows package, but it is also exported from the
common-graphics package.
