GetFileInformationByHandle
The GetFileInformationByHandle function retrieves information about a specified file.
BOOL GetFileInformationByHandle(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle of file
| LPBY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION lpFileInformation
| // address of structure
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Handle to the file that you want to obtain information about.
This handle should not be a pipe handle. The GetFileInformationByHandle function does not work with pipe handles.
lpFileInformation
Points to a BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION structure that receives the file information. The structure can be used in
subsequent calls to GetFileInformationByHandle to refer to the information about the file.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Depending on the underlying network components of the operating system and the
type of server connected to, the GetFileInformationByHandle function may fail, return partial information, or full information for the
given file. In general, you should not use GetFileInformationByHandle unless your application is intended to be run on a limited set of operating
system configurations.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
