This I/O control sets the extended flags on a file.

Syntax

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
    HANDLE hDevice,           // handle to device
    DWORD dwIoControlCode,    // use FSCTL_SET_EXTENDED_FLAGS
    LPVOID lpInBuffer,        // pointer to input buffer
    DWORD nInBufferSize,      // input buffer size
    LPVOID lpOutBuffer,       // pointer to output buffer
    DWORD nOutBufferSize,     // output buffer size
    LPDWORD lpBytesReturned,  // number of bytes returned
    OVERLAPPED lpOverlapped   // pointer to OVERLAPPED structure
);

Parameters

  • hDevice
    [in] Handle to the file or alternate stream on which to set the extended flags. To retrieve a device handle, call the CreateFile function.
  • dwIoControlCode

    Not used.
  • lpBytesReturned
    Not used.
  • lpOverlapped
