I am using the 'ManagementObje ct' to get the volume name of each drive
on my PC. It works but it is a bottleneck.
Is there an quicker way to get this information? I am using C# but am
happy yo make API calls.
I have tried the API call 'GetVolumeInfor mation' which returns the
drive letter rather than the volume name and also another function
(name forgotten) which returned a string that looked like it might be
the volume 'unique' number allocated by formatting a drive.
The VB function 'Dir' looks like it might work but I have been unable
to get to it from C#.
Any help appreciated.

GetVolumeInform ation returns the path, the volume name, and the serial
number as well as some other data.

Thanks for your response, I made a mess of the DLL prototype (why
aren't they built in to a 'C' based language) and all is well now.

ManagementObjec t should be (almost) as fast as 'GetVolumeInfor mation' API call as it uses the same API.
What OS are you running, and how does your code looks like?

We are rewriting the libc for the 64 bit version of lcc-win

fopen() will save the file name and an accessor function

What would be the best name for this function?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
