## Description

Types and functions used to record information obtained from the udev database as well as by probing the device.

## Functions

### udisks_linux_device_new_sync ()

    UDisksLinuxDevice *
    udisks_linux_device_new_sync (GUdevDevice *udev_device);

Creates a new UDisksLinuxDevice from `udev_device` which includes probing the device for more information, if applicable.

The calling thread may be blocked for a non-trivial amount of time while the probing is underway.

#### Parameters

udev_device | A GUdevDevice. |

#### Returns

A UDisksLinuxDevice.

### udisks_linux_device_reprobe_sync ()

    gboolean
    udisks_linux_device_reprobe_sync (UDisksLinuxDevice *device,
                                      GCancellable *cancellable,
                                      GError **error);

Forcibly reprobe information on `device` . The calling thread may be blocked for a non-trivial amount of time while the probing is underway.

#### Parameters

device | A UDisksLinuxDevice. |
cancellable | A GCancellable or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | Return location for error or `NULL`. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if reprobing succeeded, `FALSE` otherwise.

## Types and Values

### UDisksLinuxDevice

    typedef struct {
      GUdevDevice *udev_device;
      guchar *ata_identify_device_data;
      guchar *ata_identify_packet_device_data;
    } UDisksLinuxDevice;

Object containing information about a device on Linux. This is essentially an instance of GUdevDevice plus additional data - such as ATA IDENTIFY data - obtained via probing the device at discovery and uevent "change" time.

#### Members

GUdevDevice *`udev_device`; | A GUdevDevice. |
guchar *`ata_identify_device_data`; | 512-byte array containing the result of the IDENTIY DEVICE command or `NULL`. |
guchar *`ata_identify_packet_device_data`; | 512-byte array containing the result of the IDENTIY PACKET DEVICE command or `NULL`. |
