Linux programming "program to format an external storage device?"
Hi,
I am a newbie to programming on linux. I wanted to write a program to detect and format an external Usb storage device connected to linux. I need info from a programming point of view: 1. how does linux tell me if a new mass storage usb device is plugged into the system? 2. How do i format the device connected ? I checked man pages and found reference to "mkfs". The only way to make it work through code is by using the system() API. I do not want to use system() API. Is there any other way of doing this ? Thanks in advance, - Karbon. |
