SERVICE_DIRECTORY_TYPE enumeration (winsvc.h)

Specifies the type of a per-service state directory.

Syntax

typedef enum SERVICE_DIRECTORY_TYPE {
  ServiceDirectoryPersistentState = 0,
  ServiceDirectoryTypeMax = 1
} ;

Constants

ServiceDirectoryPersistentState Value: 0 Mutable, persistent service state. This state is both readable and writable by the service, and is inaccessible outside of the service. This state persists across reboots and OS updates.
ServiceDirectoryTypeMax Value: 1 Reserved. Represents the maximum value of the enumeration.

Remarks

All per-service state directory types have a lifetime that is scoped to the lifetime of the service installation. Once the service is removed by calling DeleteService the state directories are deleted too.
