## Function Documentation

## § get_drive_type()

MUTILS_API drive_type_t MUtils::OS::get_drive_type | ( | const QString & | path,
|  | bool * | fast_seeking = `NULL`
| ) |  |

Detect drive type.

This function detetcs the type of the drive to which the given path is pointing.

Parameters

  path | The path to the drive whose type is to be detected. On the Windows platform, only the drive letter is relevant.
  fast_seeking | Pointer to a variable that will be set to TRUE, if the drive supports "fast" seeking (e.g. SSD or similar device), or to FALSE otherwise. This parameter is optional and may be NULL.

Returns
  The function returns the type of the drive as a `OS::drive_type_t` value. In case of error, the value `DRIVE_TYPE_ERR` will be returned.

## § network_status()

MUTILS_API int MUtils::OS::network_status | ( | void |  | ) |

Check the network status.

Checks whether the computer is currently connected to a network. Note that an existing network connection does not necessarily imply actual Internet access!

Returns
  The function returns the current network status as a `OS::network_type_t` value.

## § sleep_ms()

MUTILS_API void MUtils::OS::sleep_ms | ( | const size_t & | duration | ) |

Suspend calling thread.

This function suspends the calling thread. The thread will give up its current time-slice and enter "sleeping" state. The thread will remain in "sleeping" for the specified duration. After the specified duration has elapsed, the thread will be resumed.

Note that it depends on the operating system's scheduling decisions, when the thread will actually be allowed to execute again! While the thread is still in "sleeping" state, it can not be selected for execution by the operating system's scheduler. Once the thread is no longer in "sleeping" state, i.e. the specified period has elapsed, the thread can be selected for execution by the operating system's scheduler again - but this does not need to happen immediately! The scheduler decides which thread is allowed to execute next, taking into consideration thread priorities.

Parameters

  duration | The amount of time that the thread will be suspended, in milliseconds. A value of 0 means that the thread will not actually enter "sleeping" state, but it will still give up its current time-slice!
