remove lock tag
Posted by Bruno van Dooren on June 1st, 2005


I noticed that the tag for

IoInitializeRemoveLock is an ulong, while
IoAcquireRemoveLock and IoReleaseRemoveLockAndWait take a PVOID.

for the ulong i specify ' DvB' (the reverse of my initials), but what do i
speciy for the PVOID? a string pointer?

kind regards,
Bruno.

Please get the *latest* DDK documentation, or April release of MSDL. It all
is there.

In IoAcquireRemoveLock, Tag identifies _instance_ of acquiring the remove
lock. "For example, a driver Dispatch routine typically sets this parameter
to a pointer to the IRP the routine is processing."

I guess Pavel meant MSDN.

Hi Calvin,
MSDL is the MSDN Library (too many confusing acronyms... )
