Methods:

• public abstract bool can_eject ()
  Checks if a drive can be ejected.
• public abstract bool can_poll_for_media ()
  Checks if a drive can be polled for media changes.
• public abstract bool can_start ()
  Checks if a drive can be started.
• public abstract bool can_start_degraded ()
  Checks if a drive can be started degraded.
• public abstract bool can_stop ()
  Checks if a drive can be stopped.
• public abstract async bool eject (MountUnmountFlags flags, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Asynchronously ejects a drive.
• public abstract async bool eject_with_operation (MountUnmountFlags flags, MountOperation? mount_operation, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Ejects a drive. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling g_drive_eject_with_operation_finish with the drive and AsyncResult data returned in the callback.
• public abstract unowned string enumerate_identifiers ()
  Gets the kinds of identifiers that drive has. Use g_drive_get_identifer to obtain the identifiers themselves.
• public abstract weak Icon get_icon ()
  Gets the icon for drive.
• public abstract unowned string get_identifier (string kind)
  Gets the identifier of the given kind for drive.
• public abstract unowned string get_name ()
  Gets the name of drive.
• public abstract DriveStartStopType get_start_stop_type ()
  Gets a hint about how a drive can be started/stopped.
• public abstract List<Volume> get_volumes ()
  Get a list of mountable volumes for drive.
• public abstract bool has_media ()
  Checks if the drive has media. Note that the OS may not be polling the drive for media changes; see is_media_check_automatic for more details.
• public abstract bool has_volumes ()
  Check if drive has any mountable volumes.
• public abstract bool is_media_check_automatic ()
  Checks if drive is capabable of automatically detecting media changes.
• public abstract bool is_media_removable ()
  Checks if the drive supports removable media.
• public abstract async bool poll_for_media (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Asynchronously polls drive to see if media has been inserted or removed.
• public abstract async bool start (DriveStartFlags flags, MountOperation? mount_operation, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Asynchronously starts a drive.
• public abstract async bool stop (MountUnmountFlags flags, MountOperation? mount_operation, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Asynchronously stops a drive.

Signals:

• public void changed ()
  Emitted when the drive's state has changed.
• public void disconnected ()
  This signal is emitted when the Drive have been disconnected. If the recipient is holding references to the object they should release them so the object can be finalized.
• public void eject_button ()
  Emitted when the physical eject button (if any) of a drive has been pressed.
• public void stop_button ()
  Emitted when the physical stop button (if any) of a drive has been pressed.
