struct FileSystem
Models an OS-specific file-system. Included here are methods to manipulate the current working directory, and to convert a path to its absolute form.
void setDirectory(const(char)[] path) [static, deprecated]

char[] getDirectory() [static, deprecated]

)
see Environment.cwd()
char[][] roots() [@property, static]
List the set of root devices.
long freeSpace(const(char)[] folder, bool superuser = false) [static]
Request how much free space in bytes is available on the disk/mountpoint where folder resides.
If a quota limit exists for this area, that will be taken into account unless superuser is set to true.

If a user has exceeded the quota, a negative number can be returned.

Note that the difference between total available space and free space will not equal the combined size of the contents on the file system, since the numbers for the functions here are calculated from the used blocks, including those spent on metadata and file nodes.

If actual used space is wanted one should use the statistics functionality of tango.io.vfs.

long totalSpace(const(char)[] folder, bool superuser = false) [static]
Request how large in bytes the disk/mountpoint where folder resides is.
If a quota limit exists for this area, then that quota can be what will be returned unless superuser is set to true. On Posix systems this distinction is not made though.

NOTE Access to this information when _superuser is set to true may only be available if the program is run in superuser mode.
