public class PSDriveInfo implements IComparable
For an example of a Windows PowerShell drive provider that implements this class, see Creating a Windows PowerShell Drive Provider in the Windows PowerShell Programmer's Guide.
A Windows PowerShell provider can derive from this class to provide its own public members or to cache information related to a drive. For instance, if a drive is a connection to a remote machine and making that connection is expensive, the provider might want to keep a handle to the connection as a member of a derived PSDriveInfo class to be used when the provider is invoked.
A Windows PowerShell drive extends the concept of a typical drive in the following ways:
A Windows PowerShell drive name can be any alphanumeric sequence.
A Windows PowerShell drive can be defined at any valid root or point on a path.
A Windows PowerShell drive can be implemented by any Windows PowerShell provider, not just the file system. For example, a drive could be defined on the Active Directory or the Registry.
