The device module is the device manager, which provides loading and unloading APIs, provides power notification callbacks, tracks all loaded devices, and issues notifications. It is included on all Windows Embedded CE–based OS designs. For more information, see Device Manager.
The device module contains functions for application developers, which are defined in the Winbase.h header file. To import these functions, you must link to the Device.lib file.
