IWDFFile::RetrieveFileName method (wudfddi.h)

  • Article

[Warning: UMDF 2 is the latest version of UMDF and supersedes UMDF 1. All new UMDF drivers should be written using UMDF 2. No new features are being added to UMDF 1 and there is limited support for UMDF 1 on newer versions of Windows 10. Universal Windows drivers must use UMDF 2. For more info, see Getting Started with UMDF.]

The RetrieveFileName method retrieves the full name of the file that is associated with the underlying kernel-mode device.

Syntax

HRESULT RetrieveFileName(
  [out]     PWSTR pFileName,
  [in, out] DWORD *pdwFileNameLengthInChars
);

Parameters

[out] pFileName

A pointer to a caller-supplied buffer that receives a NULL-terminated string that represents the full name of the file that is associated with the underlying kernel-mode device, if the supplied pointer is non-NULL and RetrieveFileName is successful.

[in, out] pdwFileNameLengthInChars

A pointer to a caller-supplied variable that receives the size, in characters, of the full file name that pFileName points to. If the buffer at pFileName is non-NULL, the framework returns the size, in characters, of the file name string.

On input, the driver sets this variable to the size, in characters, of the buffer that pFileName points to. If the driver supplies NULL for pFileName and zero for the variable that pdwFileNameLengthInChars points to, the framework sets the variable to the size, in characters, that the file name string requires.

Return value

RetrieveFileName returns S_OK for the following scenarios:

  • The buffer that the pFileName parameter points to was non-NULL and large enough to hold the name string, including the NULL character, and the framework successfully copied the string into the supplied buffer and set the variable that is pointed to by the pdwFileNameLengthInChars parameter to the number of characters in the string.
  • The buffer at pFileName was NULL, the driver preset the variable at pdwFileNameLengthInChars to 0, and the framework set the variable at pdwFileNameLengthInChars to the number of characters that are required for the string.
RetrieveFileName returns HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) to indicate that the supplied buffer is non-NULL and did not contain enough space to hold the file name. The framework sets the variable at pdwFileNameLengthInChars to the number of characters that are required for the string.

RetrieveFileName might also return other HRESULT values.

Remarks

Your driver might call RetrieveFileName from its IQueueCallbackCreate::OnCreateFile callback function. For more information, see Using Device Interfaces in UMDF Drivers.

Examples

The following code example shows how to retrieve the name of a file.

    ULONG fileNameCch = 0;
    PWSTR fileName = NULL;
    ULONG index;

    CComObject<CUmdfHidFile> *file = NULL;

    HRESULT hr;

    // Get the length of the file name to allocate a buffer.
    hr = WdfFile->RetrieveFileName(NULL, &fileNameCch);
    //
    // Allocate the buffer.
    //
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        fileName = new WCHAR[fileNameCch];

        if (fileName == NULL)
        {
            hr = E_OUTOFMEMORY;
        }
    }
    //
    // Get the file name.
    //
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        hr = WdfFile->RetrieveFileName(fileName, &fileNameCch);
    }
