CREATE_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT structure (ntifs.h)

  • Article

The CREATE_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT structure contains the extra create parameter (ECP) context that can be sent to query the redirection state of a file for a specific create operation.

Syntax

typedef struct _CREATE_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT {
  USHORT      Size;
  USHORT      Flags;
  FILE_ID_128 FileId;
  GUID        VolumeGuid;
} CREATE_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT, *PCREATE_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT;

Members

Size

Size of this structure, in bytes.

Flags

The redirection state of the file. Can be a valid combination of the following values.

Flag Meaning
CREATE_REDIRECTION_FLAGS_SERVICED_FROM_LAYER This is a redirected file from a layer that is not registered in the LayerRootLocations registry key.
CREATE_REDIRECTION_FLAGS_SERVICED_FROM_SCRATCH This is a new or modified file, it is not redirected.
CREATE_REDIRECTION_FLAGS_SERVICED_FROM_REGISTERED_LAYER This is a redirected file from a layer that is listed in the LayerRootLocations registry key.
CREATE_REDIRECTION_FLAGS_SERVICED_FROM_REMOTE_LAYER This is a redirected file from a remote file system relative to the container. It may or may not be registered as a layer on that server. For Hyper-V containers, the remote server is the host of the Hyper-V container utility VM.
CREATE_REDIRECTION_FLAGS_SERVICED_FROM_USER_MODE This is a cloud or other file that requires user-mode redirection.

FileId

The ID of the backing file.

VolumeGuid

The GUID-based identifier of the disk volume where the backing file resides.

Remarks

The system-defined GUID_ECP_CREATE_REDIRECTION value is used with this ECP context structure when calling ECP-related support routines such as FltAllocateExtraCreateParameter and FsRtlRemoveExtraCreateParameter.

See Introduction to extra create parameters for more information.

The WCIFS_REDIRECTION_ECP_CONTEXT structure is defined to be the same as this structure to maintain code compatibility.
