## Description

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

## Details

### 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.

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`.

### 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.

`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.

`device` : | A UDisksLinuxDevice.
`cancellable` : | A GCancellable or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`error` : | Return location for error or `NULL`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if reprobing succeeded, `FALSE` otherwise.
