    disk capacity windows

    Hello there,
    i am trying to get the equivalent of statvfs for windows such as disk capacity - ie to find the absaloute space remaining or space consumed as a percentage.
    Does such a library exist?

    any help you can give me would greatly be appreciated

    If you're asking a Windows specific question, it would be better to post it in the Windows Programming forum.
    After doing a simple search on Google, I believe this is what you're looking for: GetDiskFreeSpaceEx()

    Yes. The library is called "Win32 API". You can learn quite a lot about it here.
