macOS Get universal name of /Volumes

[imranpundeer]

Hi Friends,
I am searching an API that will provide me the Universal name of /Volume mounted network path.
Ex: if i have a network path like smb://10.112.41.26/Bkup then i will get the path in MAC programming like this /Volumes/Bkup. Buit i want the actual path of /Volumes/Bkup that is //10.112.41.26/Bkup.

Any help would be appriciated.

Regards,
Shadab

smb certainly isn't universal. Are you saying that you want the samba path to a volume?

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the reply.
I couldn't understand the samba path.
I want the actual Network path of /Volume/Bkup as i mentioned in my post.
Mean i want to detect that the actual path is connected or not if Network path has been unmounted.

Regards,
Imran.

You could try looping through the mounted volumes via getmntinfo() and then use FSCopyURLForVolume() to get the URL for the volume. I've done this before to determine whether a volume is an iDisk, or ftp, etc., so it should work for you.

Hi,
Thanks for the helpfull suggestion i got the solution and the code is below-
void getVolumeNameForPath(char* path)
{
int err=0;
CFStringRef str;
FSRef ref;
FSCatalogInfo catInfo;
CFURLRef url;

err = FSPathMakeRef((UInt8 *) path, &ref, NULL);
assert(err == noErr);

err = FSGetCatalogInfo(&ref, kFSCatInfoVolume, &catInfo,
NULL, NULL, NULL);


err = FSCopyURLForVolume(catInfo.volume, &url);

str = CFURLGetString(url);
}

str will give full Netwirk path name includeing smb.

Thanks
