WDF to get the symbolic Name
in [Device Drivers]
|
From: eBoy on 13 Jun 2010 05:02 HI, How I get the symbolic name from a device name by WDF macro or APIs ? My client driver can get a device Name form bus driver, but I don't know how to get the symbolic name by WDF. Thank you.
From: Roberto Agostino on 13 Jun 2010 08:33 I am not sure to have understood your request, but... the function QueryDosDevice can retrieve the ntdevicename from a dosdevicename, or the full list of all ntdevicenames. So if you have a dosdevice name you can get the ntdevicename directly, otherwise, you can obtain the full list and scan it, until you find the searched one ntdevice. To create and remove symbolic links you can use the function: DefineDosDevice. I hope to be useful.

From: Don Burn on 13 Jun 2010 09:02 Why do you think you need this? The device name is something you can use in the kernel, but the symbolic name if it is present is there so that the it can be used by the user space. So why would one driver care if another created a symbolic link or what its name was?
