SetupQueryDrivesInDiskSpaceListA function (setupapi.h)

[This function is available for use in the operating systems indicated in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. SetupAPI should no longer be used for installing applications. Instead, use the Windows Installer for developing application installers. SetupAPI continues to be used for installing device drivers.]

The SetupQueryDrivesInDiskSpaceList function fills a buffer with a list of the drives referenced by the file operations listed in the disk-space list.

Syntax

WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupQueryDrivesInDiskSpaceListA(
  [in]      HDSKSPC DiskSpace,
  [in, out] PSTR    ReturnBuffer,
  [in]      DWORD   ReturnBufferSize,
  [in, out] PDWORD  RequiredSize
);

Parameters

[in] DiskSpace

Handle to the disk-space list.

[in, out] ReturnBuffer

Optional pointer to a buffer that receives the drive specifications, such as "X:" or "\server\share". You should use a null-terminated string. The null-terminated string should not exceed the size of the destination buffer. This parameter can be NULL. If this parameter is not specified and no error occurs, the function returns a nonzero value and RequiredSize receives the buffer size required to hold the drive specifications.

[in] ReturnBufferSize

Size of the buffer pointed by ReturnBuffer, in characters. This includes the null terminator. This parameter is ignored if ReturnBuffer is not specified.

[in, out] RequiredSize

Optional pointer to a variable that receives the size of the buffer required to hold the null-terminated list of drives, in characters. This includes the null terminator.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

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

If the GetLastError function returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, ReturnBuffer was specified, but ReturnBufferSize indicated that the supplied buffer was too small.

Remarks

Note

The setupapi.h header defines SetupQueryDrivesInDiskSpaceList as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
