Notice that this module **does not require** admin privileges to get the drives in any supported operating system.

Supports:

- Windows.
- GNU/Linux distributions that include [util-linux](https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux) and [udev](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/udev).
- Mac OS X.

When the user executes `drivelist.list()`, the module checks the operating
system of the client and executes the corresponding drive scanning script.

Examples (the output will vary depending on your machine):

```js
const drivelist = require('drivelist');

const drives = await drivelist.list();
console.log(drives);
});
```
