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.

Parameters:
device a pointer to the device to get the filetype capabilities for.
filetypes a pointer to a pointer that will hold the list of supported filetypes if the call was successful. This list must be free():ed by the caller after use.
