FSCTL_TXFS_GET_METADATA_INFO IOCTL (winioctl.h)

  • Article

Note

Microsoft strongly recommends developers utilize alternative means to achieve your application’s needs. Many scenarios that TxF was developed for can be achieved through simpler and more readily available techniques. Furthermore, TxF may not be available in future versions of Microsoft Windows. For more information, and alternatives to TxF, please see Alternatives to using Transactional NTFS.

Retrieves Transacted NTFS (TxF) metadata for a file and the GUID of the transaction that has locked the specified file (if the file is locked).

To perform this operation, call the DeviceIoControl function with the following parameters.

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
  (HANDLE) hDevice,                 // handle to device
  FSCTL_TXFS_GET_METADATA_INFO,     // dwIoControlCode
  NULL,                             // lpInBuffer
  0,                                // nInBufferSize
  (LPVOID) lpOutBuffer,             // output buffer
  (DWORD) nOutBufferSize,           // size of output buffer
  (LPDWORD) lpBytesReturned,        // number of bytes returned
  NULL                              // OVERLAPPED structure
);

Remarks

FSCTL_TXFS_GET_METADATA_INFO is a synchronous operation.
