FsRtlInitializeTunnelCache function (ntifs.h)

  • Article

The FsRtlInitializeTunnelCache routine initializes a new tunnel cache for a volume.

Syntax

void FsRtlInitializeTunnelCache(
  [in] TUNNEL *Cache
);

Parameters

[in] Cache

Pointer to a per-volume TUNNEL structure for which the caller must provide resident storage in nonpaged pool.

Return value

None

Remarks

FsRtlInitializeTunnelCache initializes a new tunnel cache. File systems must call FsRtlInitializeTunnelCache before using any other FsRtl...TunnelCache routines on the tunnel cache.

File systems can use a per-volume tunnel cache to cache file names and other metadata for files that are being renamed or deleted.

Entries are added to the tunnel cache by calling FsRtlAddToTunnelCache. Each entry contains the file name and directory key for a file, and can also contain a fixed-size data packet of file-system-specific information. When the tunnel cache becomes full, older entries are removed automatically.

For more information about file name tunneling, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 172190.
