IVdsDiskPartitionMF::QueryPartitionFileSystemFormatSupport method (vds.h)

  • Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

Retrieves the properties of the file systems that are supported for formatting a partition on the disk at a specified byte offset.

Syntax

HRESULT QueryPartitionFileSystemFormatSupport(
  [in]  ULONGLONG                           ullOffset,
  [out] VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_PROP **ppFileSystemSupportProps,
  [out] LONG                                *plNumberOfFileSystems
);

Parameters

[in] ullOffset

Byte offset of the partition from the beginning of the disk. This offset must be the offset of the start of a partition.

[out] ppFileSystemSupportProps

A pointer to the array of VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_PROP structures passed in by the caller. Upon successful completion, this array receives information about the properties of the supported file systems. Callers must free this array by using the CoTaskMemFree function.

[out] plNumberOfFileSystems

A pointer to a variable that upon successful completion receives the total number of elements in the ppFileSystemSupportProps parameter.

Return value

This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as E_INVALIDARG or E_OUTOFMEMORY, and VDS-specific return values. It can also return converted system error codes using the HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 macro. Errors can originate from VDS itself or from the underlying VDS provider that is being used. Possible return values include the following.
