In main case it is packet manager. I am too lazy to find how to turn
off automatic update checks. So when I try to run apt or dnf I have to
kill the lock.

I think you mean "package manager".

The official file name of "C:" would be some messy string with lots of
backslashes. C: is a "DOS name." There are API to convert DOS names
into proper names. It is a mess. All Windows API is a mess.

I happen to be typing this on a Windows laptop (via ssh to another
system).  The system drive is called "C:", and I don't know of any other
name by which I can refer to it.  If I examine its properties in Windows
Explorer, it appears to have the label "Acer", but that's not the "messy
string with lots of backslashes" you referred to.

It strikes me that "C:" is the drive's "official" name in any reasonable
sense of the word.

What API are you referring to, what can I expect it to give me as the
"official" name of my C: drive, and what could I do with that name?
