roStorageInfo

This object is used to report usage information for storage devices.

Object Creation: The roStorageInfo object is created with a parameter that specifies the path of the storage device. The path does not need to extend to the root of the storage device. The JavaScript equivalent is filesysteminfo and storageinfo (see BrightScript-JavaScript Migration Guide for the method equivalents).
