.SYNOPSIS Test if a path is an Operating System's root .DESCRIPTION The root of an Operating System can be determined if it contains some well known structure. This function test for the minimum of a known structure to see if the given Path is an Operating System root. .PARAMETER Path Path to check .EXAMPLE Test-IsOSRoot -Path 'c:\' .EXAMPLE "c:" | Test-IsOSRoot .EXAMPLE "/mnt/remote/root" | Test-IsOSRoot .NOTES General notes #> function Test-IsOSRoot { [CmdletBinding()][OutputType([System.Boolean])]Param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeLine = $true)][string]$Path ) begin { } process { if (Test-Path "$Path/etc" -PathType Container) { return $true } if (Test-Path "$Path/Windows/System32" -PathType Container) { return $true } return $false } end { } } <# .SYNOPSIS Get the root path of an OS. .DESCRIPTION Find the root folder containing an Operating System. .PARAMETER Path Find the OS under this Path and return its root path .PARAMETER Online Find the OS currently online. .EXAMPLE Get-OSRoot -Online This example will likely return 'C:' on windows, '/' on any Unix-like operating system, includin linux, macOS... .EXAMPLE Get-OSRoot -Path "/mnt/sda2/var/lib" This example will return '/mnt/sda2' if this disk hosts a Unix-like Operating System. .NOTES General notes #> function Get-OSRoot { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName="ONLINE")][OutputType([String])]Param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName = "PATH", Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeLine = $true)][string]$Path, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = "ONLINE", Mandatory = $false, ValueFromPipeLine = $true)][switch]$Online ) begin { } process { switch ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { 'ONLINE' { try { $Root = (Get-PSProvider Filesystem)[0].drives[0].Root } catch { if ($env:SystemDrive) { $Root = $env:SystemDrive } else { $Root = '/' } } } 'PATH' { try { do { $Root = $Path $rc = Test-IsOSRoot -Path $Root $Path = (get-item $Path -ErrorAction stop).Parent.Fullname } until (($rc -eq $true) -or ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Path))) if (!$rc) { $Root = $null } } catch { $Root = $null } } } return $Root } end { } } <# .SYNOPSIS Get the platform identifier of an OS. .DESCRIPTION The platform identifier is the meta-family of an OS.
