# FSVolume.ItemDeactivationHandler

Methods and properties implemented by volumes that support deactivating items.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol ItemDeactivationHandler : NSObjectProtocol
```

## Overview

Overview important: This protocol replaces the FSVolume.ItemDeactivation protocol. It exposes the same functionality, while using the FSDeactivateItemResult object. This object adds the ability to reply with free space from deactivateItem(_:context:replyHandler:).
