int Block::deviceMajor() const

Returns the major number of the node file to interact with the device.

Note: Getter function for property major.

int Block::deviceMinor() const

Returns the minor number of the node file to interact with the device.

Note: Getter function for property minor.

[since 6.15] bool Block::isSystem() const

Returns whether this block is considered a system block, that is, it requires additional permissions to access (mount/umount).

It defaults to false if the backend does not support it.
