FileStore type() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 16 Mar, 2021

The type() method of a FileStore class is used to return the type of this file store and the format of the returned string highly implementation-specific.

Syntax:

public abstract String type()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns a string representing the type of this file store.

Below programs illustrate the type() method:

Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// FileStore.type() method

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.FileStore;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create object of Path
        Path path = Paths.get("E:\\Tutorials\\file.txt");

        // get FileStore object
        try {

            FileStore fs = Files.getFileStore(path);

            // print FileStore name
            // and Total usable space
            System.out.println("FileStore Name: "
                               + fs.name());
            String type = fs.type();
            System.out.println("Type: " + type);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Output:

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// FileStore.type() method

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.FileStore;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create object of Path
        // create object of Path
        Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Movies\\document.txt");

        // get FileStore object
        try {

            FileStore fs = Files.getFileStore(path);

            // print FileStore name
            // and Total usable space
            System.out.println("FileStore Name: "
                               + fs.name());
            String type = fs.type();
            System.out.println("Type: " + type);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
