MyFSD_Notify (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This function, an event notification handler, is called by the application to notify an FSD on a per-volume basis.

void MyFSD_Notify( PVOLUMEpVolume,DWORDdwFlags);

Parameters

  • pVolume
    [in] Pointer to the value that an FSD defines in its DLL and passes to the FSDMGR_RegisterVolume function when registering the volume. The definition of pVolume can point to private structures.
  • dwFlags
    [in] Event. The following table shows the possible values for the flags that are included in Fsdmgr.h from the Extfile.h file.
    Flag Description
    FSNOTIFY_POWER_ON Indicates that the device has resumed operations from a suspended mode. The file system manager calls the application on a single thread; therefore, the application should return quickly so other file systems can resume.
    FSNOTIFY_POWER_OFF Indicates that the device is entering a suspended state. No system calls can be made at this point, and the file system manager calls the application on a single thread.
    FSNOTIFY_DEVICES_ON Indicates that that the device has resumed after a suspended mode, and the PC card devices are now available for use.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

All FSD functions can be called on re-entry; therefore, FSD developers must take this into account when developing an FSD.

The Fsdmgr component is a DLL that manages all OS interaction with installable files systems. Each installable file system requires an FSD, which is a DLL that exports an API needed to support an installable file system. The name of the DLL and the names of the functions it exports start with the name of the associated installable file system. For example, if the name of file system is MyFSD, then its DLL is MyFSD.dll and its exported functions are prefaced with MyFSD_*.

Fsdmgr provides services to FSDs. The FSDMGR_RegisterVolume, FSDMGR_CreateFileHandle, and FSDMGR_CreateSearchHandle functions record a DWORD of volume-specific data an FSD needs to keep associated with volume. This volume-specific data is passed as the first parameter of these three functions.

Applications that access an installable file system use standard Win32 functions. For example, when an application wants to create a folder on a device that contains an installable file system, it calls CreateDirectory. Fsdmgr recognizes that the path is to a device containing an installable file system and calls the appropriate function, which in the case of the FAT file system is FATFSD_CreateDirectoryW. That is, the application calls CreateDirectory, causing Fsdmgr to call FATFSD_CreateDirectoryW.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.10 and later.
Header: Fsdmgr.h.
