STORAGE_PROPERTY_QUERY structure (winioctl.h)

  • Article

Indicates the properties of a storage device or adapter to retrieve as the input buffer passed to the IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY control code.

Syntax

typedef struct _STORAGE_PROPERTY_QUERY {
  STORAGE_PROPERTY_ID PropertyId;
  STORAGE_QUERY_TYPE  QueryType;
  BYTE                AdditionalParameters[1];
} STORAGE_PROPERTY_QUERY, *PSTORAGE_PROPERTY_QUERY;

Members

PropertyId

Indicates whether the caller is requesting a device descriptor, an adapter descriptor, a write cache property, a device unique ID (DUID), or the device identifiers provided in the device's SCSI vital product data (VPD) page. For a list of the property IDs that can be assigned to this member, see STORAGE_PROPERTY_ID.

QueryType

Contains flags indicating the type of query to be performed as enumerated by the STORAGE_QUERY_TYPE enumeration.

Value Meaning
PropertyStandardQuery
0
 Instructs the port driver to report a device descriptor, an adapter descriptor or a unique hardware device ID (DUID).
PropertyExistsQuery
1
 Instructs the port driver to report whether the descriptor is supported.

AdditionalParameters[1]

Contains an array of bytes that can be used to retrieve additional parameters for specific queries.

Remarks

The optional output buffer returned through the lpOutBuffer parameter of the IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY control code can be one of several structures depending on the value of the PropertyId member. If the QueryType member is set to PropertyExistsQuery, then no structure is returned.
