int LIBMTP_Get_Storage | ( | LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * | device,
|  | int const | sortby |
| ) |  |  |

This function updates all the storage id's of a device and their properties, then creates a linked list and puts the list head into the device struct. It also optionally sorts this list. If you want to display storage information in your application you should call this function, then dereference the device struct (`device->storage`) to get out information on the storage.

You need to call this everytime you want to update the `device->storage` list, for example anytime you need to check available storage somewhere.

WARNING: since this list is dynamically updated, do not reference its fields in external applications by pointer! E.g do not put a reference to any `char *` field. instead `strncpy()` it!

Parameters:

  | device | a pointer to the device to get the storage for.
  | sortby | an integer that determines the sorting of the storage list. Valid sort methods are defined in libmtp.h with beginning with LIBMTP_STORAGE_SORTBY_. 0 or LIBMTP_STORAGE_SORTBY_NOTSORTED to not sort.

Returns:
  0 on success, 1 success but only with storage id's, storage properities could not be retrieved and -1 means failure.

int LIBMTP_Set_Syncpartner | ( | LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * | device,
|  | char const *const | syncpartner |
| ) |  |  |

Sets the synchronization partner of an MTP device. Note that we have no idea what the effect of setting this to "foobar" may be. But the general idea seems to be to tell which program shall synchronize with this device and tell others to leave it alone.

Parameters:

  | device | a pointer to the device to set the sync partner for.
  | syncpartner | the new synchronization partner for the device.

Returns:
  0 on success, any other value means failure.
