FILE_ID_INFO structure (winbase.h)

Contains identification information for a file. This structure is returned from the GetFileInformationByHandleEx function when FileIdInfo is passed in the FileInformationClass parameter.

Syntax

typedef struct _FILE_ID_INFO {
  ULONGLONG   VolumeSerialNumber;
  FILE_ID_128 FileId;
} FILE_ID_INFO, *PFILE_ID_INFO;

Members

VolumeSerialNumber

The serial number of the volume that contains a file.

FileId

The 128-bit file identifier for the file. The file identifier and the volume serial number uniquely identify a file on a single computer. To determine whether two open handles represent the same file, combine the identifier and the volume serial number for each file and compare them.
