Volume existence with no popup requester?

Is it possible to know, if a volume exists without having to live with the popup requester from DOS asking for the volume to be inserted?

As far as I can see, ExamineObjectTags do not come with a feature to suppress DOS requesters.

@alfkil

APTR procWindow = NULL;
 
 
// Disable DOS requesters.
procWindow = IDOS->SetProcWindow((APTR) -1);
 
// Do your ExamineObjectTags() here.
 
// Re-enable DOS requesters.
IDOS->SetProcWindow(procWindow);

If you need a file system and not a handler then trying for a SHARED_LOCK with Lock() might be more appropriate than using ExamineObjectTags() if you don't need the ExamineData structure.

Also if the name really must be a volume and not an assign or device or something else you can search the doslist manually using LockDosList()/FindDosEntry()/UnlockDosList(). This is a bit low level but you won't have to disable error requesters then.
