Retrieves information about a disk volume. Some information, such as the number of mount points, requires you to set the open read-only flag. Some information is available only if a volume was previously mounted by

VixMntapi_MountVolume()

. The Windows registry returns volume information only for mounted disks. On Windows the

VixMntapi_GetVolumeInfo()

call returns a symbolic link from the

VixVolumeInfo

structure in the form

\\.\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-<longhexnum>\

. You can transform this symbolic link into a target path by replacing

\\.

with

\Device

and deleting the final backslash, then map a drive letter with

DefineDosDevice(DDD_RAW_TARGET_PATH,...)

and proceed as if you have a local drive. Alternatively on Windows, you can open a volume with

CreateFile()

and traverse the file system with

FindFirstFile()

.
