umount

umount

Unmount a device in UNIX, do nothing in Windows.

This module doesn't include native bindings, it constructs and runs the corresponding umount command with child_process.exec().

If the platform is win32, the umount function does nothing, and calls the given callback with (null, null, null). This allows the client to call this module independently of the operating system while getting the desired behaviour.

Installation

Install umount by running:

$ npm install --save umount

Documentation

umount.umount(String device, Function callback)

Unmount a device.

The callback gets three arguments: (error, stdout, stderr).

Example:

umount = require('umount') 

umount.umount '/dev/disk2', (error, stdout, stderr) ->
	throw error if error?
	console.log(stdout)

umount.isMounted(String device, Function callback)

Check if a device is mounted.

Note: This function always yields true in win32.

The callback gets two arguments: (error, isMounted).

Example:

umount = require('umount') 

umount.isMounted '/dev/disk2', (error, isMounted) ->
	throw error if error?
	console.log("Is Mounted? #{isMounted}")
