LoadFSDEx

This function is called by a device driver to load its associated file system driver (FSD).

BOOL LoadFSDEx (
HANDLE hDevice, 
LPCWSTR lpFSDName, 
DWORD dwFlag);

Parameters

• hDevice
  Handle to a registered device, which can be obtained with a call to the RegisterDevice function.
• lpFSDName
  Pointer to the name of the FSD to load.
• dwFlag
  Specifies the options that effect the loading of a file system. The dwFlags parameter must be set to one of the following values:

  Value	Description
  LOADFSD_ASYNCH	Loads a file system driver asynchronously. Specifying this value is the same as calling the LoadFSD function.
  LOADFSD_SYNCH	Loads a file system driver synchronously.

Return Values

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.

Remarks

When a file system is loaded synchronously there is the potential for dead locks to occur. Use caution when using the synchronous loading process.
