IOCTL_CHANGER_EXCHANGE_MEDIUM IOCTL (winioctl.h)

  • Article

Moves a piece of media from a source element to one destination, and the piece of media originally in the first destination to a second destination.

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

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

Remarks

To swap two pieces of media, specify the source as the value for the second destination.
