ReplaceIfExists

RootDirectory

FileNameLength

FileName (variable)

...

ReplaceIfExists (1 byte): A Boolean (section 2.1.8) value. Set to TRUE to indicate that if a file with the given name already exists, it SHOULD be replaced with the given file. Set to FALSE to indicate that the rename operation MUST fail if a file with the given name already exists.

Reserved (3 bytes): Reserved area for alignment. This field can contain any value and MUST be ignored.

RootDirectory (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer that contains the file handle for the directory to which the new name of the file is relative. For network operations, this value MUST be zero.

FileNameLength (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer that specifies the length, in bytes, of the file name contained within the FileName field.

FileName (variable): A sequence of Unicode characters containing the new file name of type Filename (section 2.1.5.2). When working with this field, use FileNameLength to determine the length of the file name rather than assuming the presence of a trailing null delimiter.
