## disk_status

The disk_status function returns the current disk status.

    DSTATUS disk_status (
      BYTE pdrv     /* [IN] Physical drive number */
    );

#### Parameter

pdrv
  Physical drive number to identify the target device.

#### Return Values

The disk status is returned in combination of following flags. FatFs refers only `STA_NOINIT` and `STA_PROTECT`.

STA_NOINIT
  Indicates that the device is not initialized. This flag is set on system reset, media removal or failure of `disk_initialize()` function. It is cleared on `disk_initialize()` function succeeded. Media change that occurs asynchronously must be captured and reflect it to the status flags, or auto-mount feature will not work correctly. When media change detection feature is not supported, application program needs to de-initialize the file system object with `f_mount()` function after the media change.
STA_NODISK
  Indicates that no medium in the drive. This is always cleared on fixed disk drive. Note that FatFs does not refer this flag.
STA_PROTECT
  Indicates that the medium is write protected. This is always cleared on the drive without write protect feature. Not valid while no medium in the drive.
