DeviceIoControl
DeviceIoControl Function
Sends a control code directly to a specified device driver, causing the corresponding device to perform the corresponding operation.
DeviceIoControl是直接发送控制代码到指定的设备驱动程序，使相应的移动设备以执行相应的操作的函数。
Syntax
BOOL WINAPI DeviceIoControl( __in HANDLE hDevice, __in DWORD dwIoControlCode, __in_opt LPVOID lpInBuffer, __in DWORD nInBufferSize, __out_opt LPVOID lpOutBuffer, __in DWORD nOutBufferSize, __out_opt LPDWORD lpBytesReturned, __inout_opt LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped );
Parameters
- hDevice
-
A handle to the device on which the operation is to be performed. The device is typically a volume, directory, file, or stream. To retrieve a device handle, use the CreateFile function. For more information, see Remarks.
- dwIoControlCode
-
The control code for the operation. This value identifies the specific operation to be performed and the type of device on which to perform it.
For a list of the control codes, see Remarks. The documentation for each control code provides usage details for the lpInBuffer, nInBufferSize, lpOutBuffer, and nOutBufferSize parameters.
- lpInBuffer
-
A pointer to the input buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The format of this data depends on the value of the dwIoControlCode parameter.
This parameter can be NULL if dwIoControlCode specifies an operation that does not require input data.
- nInBufferSize
-
The size of the input buffer, in bytes.
- lpOutBuffer
-
A pointer to the output buffer that is to receive the data returned by the operation. The format of this data depends on the value of the dwIoControlCode parameter.
This parameter can be NULL if dwIoControlCode specifies an operation that does not return data.
- nOutBufferSize
-
The size of the output buffer, in bytes.
- lpBytesReturned
-
A pointer to a variable that receives the size of the data stored in the output buffer, in bytes.
If the output buffer is too small to receive any data, the call fails, GetLastError returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, and lpBytesReturned is zero.
If the output buffer is too small to hold all of the data but can hold some entries, some drivers will return as much data as fits. In this case, the call fails, GetLastError returns ERROR_MORE_DATA, and lpBytesReturned indicates the amount of data received. Your application should call DeviceIoControl again with the same operation, specifying a new starting point.
If lpOverlapped is NULL, lpBytesReturned cannot be NULL. Even when an operation returns no output data and lpOutBuffer is NULL, DeviceIoControl makes use of lpBytesReturned. After such an operation, the value of lpBytesReturned is meaningless.
If lpOverlapped is not NULL, lpBytesReturned can be NULL. If this parameter is not NULL and the operation returns data, lpBytesReturned is meaningless until the overlapped operation has completed. To retrieve the number of bytes returned, call GetOverlappedResult. If hDevice is associated with an I/O completion port, you can retrieve the number of bytes returned by calling GetQueuedCompletionStatus.
- lpOverlapped
-
A pointer to an OVERLAPPED structure.
If hDevice was opened without specifying FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, lpOverlapped is ignored.
If hDevice was opened with the FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED flag, the operation is performed as an overlapped (asynchronous) operation. In this case, lpOverlapped must point to a valid OVERLAPPED structure that contains a handle to an event object. Otherwise, the function fails in unpredictable ways.
For overlapped operations, DeviceIoControl returns immediately, and the event object is signaled when the operation has been completed. Otherwise, the function does not return until the operation has been completed or an error occurs.
Return Value
If the operation completes successfully, the return value is nonzero.
If the operation fails or is pending, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
