FileStore name() method in Java with Examples

The name() method of a FileStore class is used to return the name of this file store as a String. The format of the name is typically the name of the storage pool or volume. The string returned by this method may differ from the string returned by the toString() method.

Syntax:

public abstract String name()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns the name of this file store as a String.

Below programs illustrate the name() method:
Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate FileStore.name() 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 the object of Path
        Path path
            = Paths.get(
                "E:\\Tutorials\\file.txt");
  
        // get FileStore object
        try {
  
            FileStore fs
                = Files.getFileStore(path);
  
            // print FileStore name
            System.out.println("FileStore Name: "
                               + fs.name());
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
  
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Program 2:




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

public class GFG {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create the object of Path
        Path path
            = Paths.get(
                "C:\\Movies\\001.txt");
  
        // get FileStore object
        try {
  
            FileStore fs
                = Files.getFileStore(path);
  
            // print FileStore name and Total usable space
            String name = fs.name();
            System.out.println("FileStore Name: "
                               + name);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
  
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
