FSCTL_MAKE_MEDIA_COMPATIBLE IOCTL (winioctl.h)

  • Article

Closes an open UDF session on write-once media to make the media ROM compatible. Used in conjunction with FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE volume flag. This call must be issued on the volume handle.

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

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