* $CATEGORY$
* Low Level
* $ONELINER$
* Get the amount of space available on a disk
* $SYNTAX$
* HB_DISKSPACE( [<cDrive>] [, <nType>] ) --> nDiskbytes
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <cDrive> The drive letter you are requesting info on. The default
* is A:
* <nType> The type of space being requested.The default is HB_DISK_AVAIL.
* $RETURNS$
* <nDiskBytes> The number of bytes on the requested disk that match the
* requested type.
* $DESCRIPTION$
* By default, this function will return the number of bytes of
* free space on the current drive that is available to the user
* requesting the information.
*
* There are 4 types of information available:
*
* HB_FS_AVAIL The amount of space available to the user making the
* request. This value could be less than HB_FS_FREE if
* disk quotas are supported by the O/S in use at runtime,
* and disk quotas are in effect. Otherwise, the value
* will be equal to that returned for HB_FS_FREE.
* HB_FS_FREE The actual amount of free diskspace on the drive.
* HB_FS_USED The number of bytes in use on the disk.
* HB_FS_TOTAL The total amount of space allocated for the user if
* disk quotas are in effect, otherwise, the actual size
* of the drive.
*
* If information is requested on a disk that is not available, a runtime
* error 2018 will be raised.
* $EXAMPLES$
* ? "You can use : " +Str( HB_DiskSpace() ) + " bytes " +;
* "Out of a total of " + Str( HB_DiskSpace('C:',HB_FS_TOTAL) )
*
* Note: See tests\tstdspac.prg for another example
* $STATUS$
* R
* $COMPLIANCE$
* CA-Clipper will return an integer value which limits it's usefulness to
* drives less than 2 gigabytes. The Harbour version will return a
* floating point value with 0 decimals if the disk is > 2 gigabytes.
* <nType> is a Harbour extension.
