VDS Data Types

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

The data types supported by VDS define function return values, function parameters, and structure members. Data types define the size and meaning of these elements.
