IOCTL_DISK_SET_SECURE_WIPE_FLAG (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

  • Article

1/6/2010

This IOCTL sets a flag indicating a secure wipe is to be performed on the next reboot. The handle is a handle to the file system volume.

Parameters

  • dwIoControlCode
    [in] Set to IOCTL_DISK_SET_SECURE_WIPE_FLAG
  • lpInBuf
    [in] Not used
  • nInBufSize
    [in] Not used
  • lpOutBuf
    [out] Not used
  • nOutBufSize
    [out] Not used
  • lpBytesReturned
    [out] Not used

Return Values

If the call succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To obtain extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

**After the flag is set, the call returns. When the calling application reboots the system, the secure wipe is performed. After the reboot, EXFAT passes the FATUTIL_SECURE_WIPE flag to the FORMAT_OPTIONS structure.

The following example shows how to obtain a handle to the file system volume:

h = CreateFile ( "<MountPoint>\VOL:", ...)
