CBFilter Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The CBFilter class allows applications to intercept and control filesystem requests.

Syntax

cbfsfilter.CBFilter

Remarks

The CBFilter struct gives applications the ability to intercept filesystem requests, allowing them to be altered, handled, or blocked. Applications use standard filter rules to specify which requests they are interested in intercepting; and special filter rules to enforce access restrictions and redirect requests to different files.

To learn more about the struct's capabilities, please refer to the product's General Information topics.

Getting Started

1. If the struct's system driver has not been installed yet, call the Install method to do so. This needs to be done only once.
   • In production, the driver can be installed (or updated) ahead of time with the application's installation script using the Installer DLL. Please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information.
2. Call the Initialize method to initialize the CBFilter struct. This must be done each time the application starts.
3. Add one or more filter rules using methods like AddFilterRule. (Rules can also be added or removed after the filter is started.)
4. Call the StartFilter method to start filtering filesystem requests.
5. When finished, call the StopFilter method to stop filtering filesystem requests.
6. To uninstall the struct's system driver, call the Uninstall method. This should not be done as part of the driver upgrade process.
   • In production, the driver can be uninstalled by the application's uninstallation script using the Installer DLL. Please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information.

The following is a list of config settings for the component with short descriptions. Click on the links for further details.

Active Property (CBFilter Component)

This property notes whether the class is active and processing requests.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Active() (bool, error)

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property reflects whether the struct is active and currently processing requests. It will be true after the filter has been attached successfully via a call to StartFilter.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

bool

Altitude Property (CBFilter Component)

This property specifies the altitude the class's system driver should use .

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Altitude() (string, error)
func (obj *CBFilter) SetAltitude(value string) error

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the altitude that the struct's system driver should use . A driver's altitude determines its absolute position in the stack of filter drivers; drivers with higher altitudes are attached toward the top of the stack, closer to the user mode, which allows them to process requests earlier.

Microsoft manages and assigns filesystem minifilter driver altitudes directly, so an application-specific altitude value must be obtained from Microsoft before an application is deployed in production. Please refer to the Driver Altitudes topic for more information. During development, an appropriate arbitrary value, such as 360000 (which is not registered with Microsoft), can be used.

If this property is queried before an altitude has been set (via this property or the Install method), it will return an empty string.

Note: This property cannot be changed when Active is true. Additionally, the Initialize method must be called before attempting to get or set this property's value, which is stored in the registry.

Data Type

string

DefaultRuleCount Property (CBFilter Component)

The number of records in the DefaultRule arrays.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) DefaultRuleCount() (int32, error)

Default Value

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property indicates a file mask that determines which files and directories match the rule.

This property reflects the file mask used to determine whether a file or directory matches the rule. In addition to being its primary match qualifier, a rule's mask also serves as its identifier; every rule in a ruleset must have a unique mask.

Note: When a rule with a drive letter is added, said drive letter is automatically converted to NT Device format. When the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is disabled, this property's value will contain the NT Device name. When the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is enabled, the struct attempts to convert the mask back to the DOS format with a drive letter. In some situations, such backward conversion can lead to a path that was different from the original path added.

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies what file flushing and closing behaviors the struct's system driver should enforce.

Applications that modify file data as it is being read or written may need to change this property's value to function correctly. For example, applications that provide on-the-fly encryption should choose the proper flags to ensure that other applications that have opened the files being encrypted cannot accidentally write nonencrypted data to the disk.

Applications that do not modify file data as it is being read or written can leave this property unchanged.

AddDefaultRule Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a default rule.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddDefaultRule(Mask string, AccessFlags int32, ProductGUID string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a default rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask. Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule's parameters are merged into it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Default rules, like access rules, instruct the struct's system driver to apply certain access restrictions to matching files and directories. However, unlike access rules, default rules are managed by the driver directly; they are activated as soon as the driver loads at boot time, and then continue to be enforced at all times, regardless of whether the application that added them is open.

The Mask parameter must be a valid file mask according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match the specified mask will be covered by the rule.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions the struct's system driver should apply to matching files and directories. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The ProductGUID parameter identifies the application that the rule should be associated with in the registry. In most cases, the value passed for this parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method.

This method requires administrative rights to execute successfully. If the user account of the process that calls this method doesn't have such rights, the call will fail with an ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD (0x0522) error. Please refer to the Default Rules topic for more information.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddFilterRule Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a standard filter rule or access rule.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddFilterRule(Mask string, AccessFlags int32, ControlFlags int64, NotifyFlags int64) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a standard filter rule or access rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask. Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule's parameters are merged into it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Standard filter rules determine which filesystem operations, of those performed on matching files and directories, the struct should fire its events for. Access rules instruct the struct's system driver to apply certain access restrictions to matching files and directories.

The Mask parameter must be a valid file mask according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match the specified mask will be covered by the rule.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions the struct's system driver should apply to matching files and directories. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The ControlFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should fire Control Events for. For example, if the FS_CE_BEFORE_READ and FS_CE_AFTER_READ flags are present, the BeforeReadFile and AfterReadFile events will fire before and after a read operation is performed on any file that matches Mask. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The NotifyFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should fire Notification Events for. For example, if the FS_NE_READ flag is present, the NotifyReadFile event will fire after a read operation is performed on any file that matches Mask. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddFilterRuleEx Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a standard filter rule or access rule with additional match qualifiers.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddFilterRuleEx(Mask string, EaName string, AccessFlags int32, ControlFlags int64, NotifyFlags int64, MinSize int64, MaxSize int64, IncludedAttributes int64, ExcludedAttributes int64) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a standard filter rule or access rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask (which must be provided), and other qualifiers (which are optional). Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule's parameters are merged into it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Standard filter rules determine which filesystem operations, of those performed on matching files and directories, the struct should fire its events for. Access rules instruct the struct's system driver to apply certain access restrictions to matching files and directories.

The Mask parameter must be a valid file mask according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match the specified mask will be covered by the rule.

The EaName parameter specifies the name of an extended attribute that a file or directory must have to qualify as a match; wildcards are not allowed. Pass an empty string if this parameter should not be used as a match qualifier.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions the struct's system driver should apply to matching files and directories. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The ControlFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should fire Control Events for. For example, if the FS_CE_BEFORE_READ and FS_CE_AFTER_READ flags are present, the BeforeReadFile and AfterReadFile events will fire before and after a read operation is performed on any file that matches Mask. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The NotifyFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should fire Notification Events for. For example, if the FS_NE_READ flag is present, the NotifyReadFile event will fire after a read operation is performed on any file that matches Mask. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The MinSize and MaxSize parameters specify the minimum and maximum size, in bytes, that a file can be to qualify as a match. Pass -1 for either parameter if it should not be used as a match qualifier.

The IncludedAttributes and ExcludedAttributes parameters specify which file attributes a file or directory must have or not have to qualify as a match. Pass 0 for either parameter if it should not be used as a match qualifier.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddPassthroughRule Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a passthrough rule.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddPassthroughRule(Mask string, AccessFlags int32, ControlFlags int64, NotifyFlags int64) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a passthrough rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask. Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule's parameters are merged into it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Passthrough rules exclude matching files and directories from being processed by other filter rules.

The Mask parameter must be a valid file mask according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match the specified mask will be covered by the rule.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions the struct's system driver should lift from matching files and directories. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The ControlFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should not fire Control Events for. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The NotifyFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should not fire Notification Events for. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddPassthroughRuleEx Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a passthrough rule with additional match qualifiers.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddPassthroughRuleEx(Mask string, EaName string, AccessFlags int32, ControlFlags int64, NotifyFlags int64, MinSize int64, MaxSize int64, IncludedAttributes int64, ExcludedAttributes int64) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a passthrough rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask (which must be provided) and other qualifiers (which are optional). Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule's parameters are merged into it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Passthrough rules exclude matching files and directories from being processed by other filter rules.

The Mask parameter must be a valid file mask according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match the specified mask will be covered by the rule.

The EaName parameter specifies the name of an extended attribute that a file or directory must have to qualify as a match; wildcards are not allowed. Pass an empty string if this parameter should not be used as a match qualifier.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions the struct's system driver should lift from matching files and directories. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The ControlFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should not fire Control Events for. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The NotifyFlags parameter specifies which filesystem operations the struct should not fire Notification Events for. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The MinSize and MaxSize parameters specify the minimum and maximum size, in bytes, that a file can be to qualify as a match. Pass -1 for either parameter if it should not be used as a match qualifier.

The IncludedAttributes and ExcludedAttributes parameters specify which file attributes a file or directory must have or not have to qualify as a match. Pass 0 for either parameter if it should not be used as a match qualifier.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddReparseRule Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a reparse rule.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddReparseRule(Mask string, ReparseMask string, ProductGUID string, Flags int32) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method adds a reparse rule for the files and directories that match the specified Mask. Each rule in a ruleset is uniquely identified by its mask; if a rule with the specified mask already exists, the new rule replaces it.

If the rule is added successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Reparse rules are used to redirect access from a file or directory covered by Mask to another location in the filesystem, specified by ReparseMask.

The Mask and ReparseMask parameters must be valid file masks according to the File Masks topic. Only the files and directories that match Mask will be covered by the rule (i.e., redirected to the path specified by ReparseMask). For example, passing *.txt for Mask and *_1.txt for ReparseMask would cause, for example, test.txt to be redirected to test_1.txt.

More generally, for each wildcard (* or ?) present in Mask, there must be a corresponding wildcard (of the same type) in ReparseMask; and the wildcards in ReparseMask must appear in the same order as they do in Mask. For example, if Mask is 20??_Budget.*, then 20??_Budget_Report.* would be a legal value for ReparseMask; but 20??_Budget_Report.xls would not be, nor would 20*_Budget_Report.*.

The ProductGUID parameter identifies the application that the rule should be associated with in the registry. In most cases, the value passed for this parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method.

The Flags parameter specifies how, exactly, the redirection should be performed. Possible values are as follows:

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

AddVirtualFile Method (CBFilter Component)

This method adds a virtual file to the list of virtual entries and makes it visible in the filesystem.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) AddVirtualFile(FileName string, CreationTime time.Time, LastAccessTime time.Time, LastWriteTime time.Time, ChangeTime time.Time, Size int64, Attributes int32) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method creates or opens a virtual file and adds it to the list of virtual entries, managed by the struct. If the struct is active, the virtual file also appears in the filesystem. Virtual directories are not supported.

The struct stores the creation parameters in the list. Adding the same file name several times will create only one list entry for each distinct file name, and subsequent calls to AddVirtualFile with different parameters will be ignored. To update properties of the file that is already in the list, use the UpdateVirtualFile method. To remove the file from the list, use the RemoveVirtualFile method.

The FileName parameter must contain the full path and name of the file being added. The drive on which the file resides may be referenced in one of following formats:

• A volume GUID, formatted like Volume{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} . A path may start with the \\?\ prefix, such as "\\?\Volume{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}".
• A DOS name, formatted like C:\.
• A volume NT-native name, formatted like \Device\HarddiskVolumeX\, where X is the number of the volume.

To successfully add a virtual file, the volume in the path must already be present on the system.

Note: if an application adds multiple files to the same drive, it is more efficient to convert a GUID-based or a DOS-name-based volume name to the NT-native format using the GetNTPathName method, then use the obtained NT-native volume name in the calls to this AddVirtualFile method.

CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, ChangeTime must specify the corresponding time values for the file, specified in UTC.

Size must be set to the size of the file. It may be 0 for an empty file or a positive value.

Attributes must be set to the file's attributes. Please refer to Microsoft's File Attribute Constants article for attribute descriptions.

The method will return true if the file was added to the list and false if the file is already present in the list. An error will be reported if adding the file failed on the driver side.

CloseDefaultRulesSnapshot Method (CBFilter Component)

This method closes the previously created default rules snapshot.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CloseDefaultRulesSnapshot() error

Remarks

This method closes the default rules snapshot previously created by CreateDefaultRulesSnapshot, releasing the memory associated with it. Please refer to that method's documentation for more information.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

CloseReparseRulesSnapshot Method (CBFilter Component)

This method closes the previously created reparse rules snapshot.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CloseReparseRulesSnapshot() error

Remarks

This method closes the reparse rules snapshot previously created by CreateReparseRulesSnapshot, releasing the memory associated with it. Please refer to that method's documentation for more information.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

Config Method (CBFilter Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Config(ConfigurationString string) (string, error)

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every struct. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the struct.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

CreateDefaultRulesSnapshot Method (CBFilter Component)

This method creates a snapshot of information about the default rules that have been added.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CreateDefaultRulesSnapshot(ProductGUID string) error

Remarks

This method creates a snapshot of information about all default rules that have been added by the application identified by ProductGUID. This information is then used to populate the DefaultRule* properties.

When the application is finished working with the default rules snapshot, it must close it by calling the CloseDefaultRulesSnapshot method to release the associated memory. If this method is called again before an existing snapshot is closed, the struct will attempt to close it before creating a new one.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

CreateFileDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method creates or opens a file or directory by passing the request directly to the filesystem.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CreateFileDirect(FileName string, Synchronize bool, DesiredAccess int32, ShareMode int32, CreationDisposition int32, FlagsAndAttributes int32, CloseImmediately bool, SendViaStack bool) (int64, error)

Remarks

This method should be used instead of the Windows API's CreateFile function to create or open a file or directory when an application needs to access this file without sending requests through the complete filesystem filter driver stack.

The parameters of this method correspond to the parameters of the CreateFile function.

If the file or directory is created or opened successfully, this method returns a file handle for it; otherwise, it returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. The returned handle, if valid, must be closed using the Windows API's CloseHandle function when the application is finished with it. See the "Use of Handle" section below for details of how to use the handle.

If CloseImmediately is true, this method will create or open the specified file or directory and then immediately close the resulting handle. In this case, the handle will still be returned to indicate the success of the operation, but it will not be usable in any file operations.

The SendViaStack parameter specifies how the driver should send the request for opening the file as well as other requests that will be sent using the opened file handle. When this parameter is false, requests made by the application using the handle, created by the CreateFileDirect method, are sent directly to the filesystem. When some filter drivers are located lower in the driver stack than the CBFilter driver, such requests will bypass that filter drivers with possibly unexpected consequences (e.g., requests going to the wrong file, wrong data being read or written). Set this parameter to true to make the driver pass these requests down the filter stack, letting them reach other filter drivers before the filesystem.

When the SendViaStack parameter is false, requests against the returned file handle are routed directly to the filesystem (bypassing all filter drivers, including the struct's); applications can use it to call the Windows File API functions (ReadFile, WriteFile) within filesystem-related events without causing a system deadlock. However, pay special attention to the Synchronize parameter's documentation, which is given below.

The FileName, DesiredAccess, CreationDisposition, and FlagsAndAttributes parameters correspond to the lpFileName, dwDesiredAccess, dwCreationDisposition, and dwFlagsAndAttributes parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (respectively).

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information about how to set these parameters appropriately.

The CreationDisposition parameter should be set to one of the valid values and may not be 0. If any of these requirements is not met, the ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error is returned.

The ShareMode parameter should be set by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The Synchronize parameter specifies whether this method and operations with the resulting handle should be synchronized with the thread that originated the underlying filesystem request associated with the current event (i.e., the event that this method was called from).

The parameter is applicable only when a caller uses it to open the file, for which the event was fired, when isolation is not used. If the file create/open operation is isolated (the handler sets the Isolate parameter of the corresponding event to true), the application may safely set Synchronize to false. Also, the parameter should not be set to true when this method is called from the AfterCloseFile event; when the event is fired, no file is open to synchronize operations with.

It is recommended to set Synchronize to true when the method is called from AfterCreateFile and AfterOpenFile event handlers. This helps prevent possible deadlocks in other filter drivers.

Please refer to Direct File operations for additional information about the use of a handle or a stream obtained using this method.

CreateFileDirectAsStream Method (CBFilter Component)

This method creates or opens a file by passing the request directly to the filesystem.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CreateFileDirectAsStream(FileName string, Synchronize bool, DesiredAccess int32, ShareMode int32, CreationDisposition int32, FlagsAndAttributes int32, SendViaStack bool, Handle *int64) (*CBFSFilterStream, error)

Remarks

This method should be used instead of the Windows API's CreateFile function to create or open a file when an application needs to access this file without sending requests through the complete filesystem filter driver stack.

The parameters of this method correspond to the parameters of the CreateFile function.

If the file is created or opened successfully, this method returns a stream object that provides access to its data; otherwise, it returns nil.

Upon success, the Handle parameter is populated with the file handle value. This handle value does not need to be closed - the struct will do this automatically when the stream is closed. See the "Use of Handle" section below for details of how to use the handle.

The SendViaStack parameter specifies how the driver should send the request for opening the file as well as other requests that will be sent using the opened file handle. When this parameter is false, requests made by the application using the handle, created by the CreateFileDirect method, are sent directly to the filesystem. When some filter drivers are located lower in the driver stack than the CBFilter driver, such requests will bypass that filter drivers with possibly unexpected consequences (e.g., requests going to the wrong file, wrong data being read or written). Set this parameter to true to make the driver pass these requests down the filter stack, letting them reach other filter drivers before the filesystem.

When the SendViaStack parameter is false, requests against the opened file are routed directly to the filesystem (bypassing all filter drivers, including the struct's); applications can use it within filesystem-related events without causing a system deadlock. However, pay special attention to the Synchronize parameter's documentation, which is given below.

The FileName, DesiredAccess, CreationDisposition, and FlagsAndAttributes parameters correspond to the lpFileName, dwDesiredAccess, dwCreationDisposition, and dwFlagsAndAttributes parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (respectively).

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information about how to set these parameters appropriately.

The CreationDisposition parameter should be set to one of the valid values and may not be 0. If any of these requirements is not met, the ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error is returned.

The ShareMode parameter should be set by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

The Synchronize parameter specifies whether this method and operations with the resulting handle should be synchronized with the thread that originated the underlying filesystem request associated with the current event (i.e., the event that this method was called from).

The parameter is applicable only when a caller uses it to open the file, for which the event was fired, when isolation is not used. If the file create/open operation is isolated (the handler sets the Isolate parameter of the corresponding event to true), the application may safely set Synchronize to false. Also, the parameter should not be set to true when this method is called from the AfterCloseFile event; when the event is fired, no file is open to synchronize operations with.

It is recommended to set Synchronize to true when the method is called from AfterCreateFile and AfterOpenFile event handlers. This helps prevent possible deadlocks in other filter drivers.

Please refer to Direct File operations for additional information about the use of a handle or a stream obtained using this method.

CreateReparseRulesSnapshot Method (CBFilter Component)

This method creates a snapshot of information about the reparse rules that have been added.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) CreateReparseRulesSnapshot(ProductGUID string) error

Remarks

This method creates a snapshot of information about all reparse rules that have been added by the application identified by ProductGUID. This information is then used to populate the ReparseRule* properties.

When the application is finished working with the reparse rules snapshot, it must close it by calling the CloseReparseRulesSnapshot method to release the associated memory. If this method is called again before an existing snapshot is closed, the struct will attempt to close it before creating a new one.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

This method deletes all standard filter rules and access rules.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) DeleteAllFilterRules() (bool, error)

Remarks

This method deletes all standard filter rules and access rules that are currently present.

If the rules are deleted successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

To delete standard filter rules or access rules individually, use the DeleteFilterRule method instead.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once.

This method deletes all passthrough rules.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) DeleteAllPassthroughRules() (bool, error)

Remarks

This method deletes all passthrough rules that are currently present.

If the rules are deleted successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

To delete passthrough rules individually, use the DeletePassthroughRule method instead.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once.

DeleteAllReparseRules Method (CBFilter Component)

This method deletes all reparse rules.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) DeleteAllReparseRules(ProductGUID string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method deletes all reparse rules associated with the application identified by ProductGUID.

If the rules are deleted successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

In most cases, the value passed for the ProductGUID parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method. Please refer to the AddReparseRule method's documentation for more information.

To delete reparse rules individually, use the DeleteReparseRule method instead.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

DeleteDefaultRule Method (CBFilter Component)

This method deletes a particular default rule.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) DeleteDefaultRule(Mask string, AccessFlags int32, ProductGUID string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method deletes the specified AccessFlags from the default rule identified by Mask and associated with the application identified by ProductGUID. If AccessFlags includes all flags currently present in the rule, then the entire rule is deleted; otherwise, the flags specified by AccessFlags are simply removed from the rule.

If the flags or this rule are deleted successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

The Mask parameter must be the file mask of an existing rule. If a rule with the specified mask cannot be found, this method will fail.

The AccessFlags parameter specifies which access restrictions should be removed from the rule. The value passed for this parameter should be constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following flags:

In most cases, the value passed for the ProductGUID parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method. Please refer to the AddDefaultRule method's documentation for more information.

This method requires administrative rights to execute successfully. If the user account of the process that calls this method doesn't have such rights, the call will fail with an ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD (0x0522) error. Please refer to the Default Rules topic for more information.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetHandleCreatorToken() (int64, error)

Remarks

This method can be called within certain events to retrieve the security token associated with the process that opened the file handle. If the query fails, this method returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

The security token returned by this method can be passed to the Windows API's GetTokenInformation function to obtain more information about the process.

Note: When applications are finished using the returned security token, they must close it using the Windows API's CloseHandle function.

Network Access Notes

Applications monitoring a drive shared on the network may wish to obtain information about the network users accessing it (e.g., account names). Drives can be shared in several modes in Windows, which can affect the information retrievable via the security token this method returns:

• Authenticated mode, in which case the network redirector (which, in general, is responsible for relaying remote drive requests to and from the system driver) will impersonate the network user, allowing that account's actual information to be retrieved.
• Guest mode, in which case the retrievable information is for the system's GUEST account.
• Administrative shares (those which exist by default and whose names end with '$'; e.g., C$, ADMIN$, etc.), in which case the retrievable information is for the LOCAL_SYSTEM account.

Note: This method can be called only within the AfterCreateFile and AfterOpenFile events, and must be called in the same thread that the event was originally fired on. Applications that need the information that this method returns during other events can do the following:

1. Call this method within the AfterCreateFile or AfterOpenFile event.

GetOriginatorProcessId Method (CBFilter Component)

Retrieves the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOriginatorProcessId() (int32, error)

Remarks

This method can be called within events fired for filesystem operations to retrieve the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation. If the query fails, this method returns 0.

Please note that PIDs are not unique, and may be reused by different processes over time (though in practice, this is uncommon).

Applications cannot use this method to retrieve information about remote processes accessing drives shared on the network. Windows does not provide such information due to the nature of remote access.

Note: This method can be called only within events, and it must be called in the same thread that the event was originally fired on. However, it must not be called within events that work with opened files since such events can be initiated by system components (e.g., the cache manager, memory manager, etc.). If applications need the information this method returns during such events, they may do the following:

1. Call this method within the CreateFile or OpenFile event.
2. Store the information somewhere, and store a reference to it in the event's HandleContext parameter.
3. In a later event, access the information via the reference stored in HandleContext.

Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information on how to use events' context parameters.

Note: Renaming and deletion of files is performed after the file is opened. Thus, access checks should be performed during file opening as described above.

GetRemoteAccessInformation Method (CBFilter Component)

This method returns networking-related information about the operation.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) GetRemoteAccessInformation(ShareName *string, ClientSocketAddressBuffer int64, ClientSocketAddressBufferSize *int32) error

Remarks

Call this method from *CreateFile/*OpenFile events to retrieve the collected networking details information related to the filesystem operation performed across the network.

Note: The information will be available only when the CollectRemoteOpenInformation configuration setting is enabled.

This method returns the contents of one of two structures, SRV_OPEN_ECP_CONTEXT or NFS_OPEN_ECP_CONTEXT. These structures contain various networking information that differs depending on the remote access type. Please refer to MSDN for additional information.

Depending on the type of remote access, the information is extracted from one of those structures. When the method returns, ShareName will contain the value of either ShareName or ExportAlias field of the corresponding structure. ClientSocketAddressBuffer will contain the value of the SocketAddress or ClientSocketAddress field of the corresponding structure. This field is a structure of the SOCKADDR_STORAGE_NFS type.

When calling the method, an application needs to prepare the buffer of the required size and specify this size of the ClientSocketAddressBuffer buffer in the ClientSocketAddressBufferSize argument.

GetReparseRuleByMask Method (CBFilter Component)

This method retrieves the reparse rule associated with the specified file mask.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) GetReparseRuleByMask(Mask string, ProductGUID string) (string, error)

Remarks

This method retrieves the reparse rule identified by Mask and associated with the application identified by ProductGUID. If such a reparse rule is found, this method returns its reparse mask (see AddReparseRule); otherwise, it returns empty string.

The Mask parameter must be the file mask of an existing rule.

In most cases, the value passed for the ProductGUID parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (e.g., during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume and AfterFilterDetachFromVolume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists both occur in a thread-safe manner.

GetVolumeGUID Method (CBFilter Component)

This method retrieves the volume GUID of the device targeted by a filesystem operation.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) GetVolumeGUID() (string, error)

Remarks

This method can be called within events fired for filesystem operations to retrieve the volume GUID of the device targeted by the operation, returned in the Volume{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} format. If the query fails, this method returns an empty string.

Volume GUIDs can be used to enumerate the mounting points of a device using the Windows API's GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName function.

Note: This method can be called only within events.

Initialize Method (CBFilter Component)

This method initializes the class.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Initialize(ProductGUID string) error

Remarks

This method initializes the struct and must be called each time the application starts before attempting to call any of the struct's other methods with the exception of installation-related methods.

ProductGUID is used to distinguish among driver installations performed by different applications. Such information is necessary to guard against unexpected situations, such as the driver being uninstalled by one application despite other applications still needing it.

Therefore, to ensure proper operation, it is critical that each individual application have its own unique ProductGUID value, and that applications (and their installation scripts) use that value when calling any of the following methods:

• Install
• Uninstall
• GetDriverStatus
• GetDriverVersion
• Initialize

If the required driver was not installed using the Install method with the same value of ProductGUID, Initialize will return a ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error (Win32 error code 2).

If the loaded kernel-mode driver is older than the user-mode API, Initialize will return a ERROR_INVALID_KERNEL_INFO_VERSION error (Win32 error code 340). In this situation, an update of the driver using the Install method is required before the struct can be used.

Install Method (CBFilter Component)

This method installs (or upgrades) the class's system driver.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Install(CabFileName string, ProductGUID string, PathToInstall string, Altitude string, Flags int32, AllowedControllers string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method is used to install or upgrade the struct's system driver. If the system must be rebooted to complete the installation process, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Important: To upgrade the struct's driver, use only the Install method. Previously installed versions of the driver should not be uninstalled first. Calling the Install method will upgrade the previously installed version.

Please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information.

CabFileName must be the path of the cbfilter.cab file containing the struct's system driver.

Note: This .cab file must remain on the target system (or be available in some other way) after installation, as it is required to uninstall the driver from the system.

ProductGUID is used to distinguish among driver installations performed by different applications. Such information is necessary to guard against unexpected situations, such as the driver being uninstalled by one application despite other applications still needing it.

Therefore, to ensure proper operation, it is critical that each individual application have its own unique ProductGUID value, and that applications (and their installation scripts) use that value when calling any of the following methods:

• Install
• Uninstall
• GetDriverStatus
• GetDriverVersion
• Initialize

PathToInstall controls where the driver is installed. Pass empty string (highly recommended) to automatically install them to the appropriate Windows system directory.

Altitude specifies the driver altitude to use . During development, you can use any acceptable altitude value. For deployment, an altitude value must be assigned by Microsoft before deploying a filesystem minifilter in production. After installation, the altitude can be changed at any time using the Altitude property. Please refer to the Driver Altitudes topic for more information.

Flags specifies various installation options. It should contain zero or more of the following flags, ORed together:

Note: Enabling the AlwaysPrepareFiles and/or SendRequestsViaDriverStack configuration settings before calling this method will cause the corresponding flags to be added automatically. These configuration settings can also be used to toggle the corresponding options at any time after installation.

AllowedControllers is the optional parameter that makes it possible to limit communication with the driver to just the predefined set of processes. When the caller specifies one or more names of the executable files, filtering can be started with the specified ProductGUID only when filtering is initiated by the process created from one of the listed executable files. If the name of the caller process does not match any of the allowed names, the call to StartFilter will fail with an error.

The parameter may be either empty or contain one or more EXE file names with complete paths. Separate names/paths should be separated by the LF character (numeric code 10).

This method is available in both the struct API and the Installer DLL included with the product; please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information about the latter.

This method requires administrative rights to execute successfully. If the user account of the process that calls this method doesn't have such rights, the call will fail with an ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD (0x0522) error.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

IsFileFiltered Method (CBFilter Component)

This method checks whether a particular file or directory is covered by any filter rules.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) IsFileFiltered(FileName string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method checks whether the file or directory specified by FileName is covered by any of the standard filter rules active currently (i.e., whether the struct would fire its events for one or more kinds of filesystem operations performed on it). If the specified file or directory matches any of the active standard filter rules, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Applications should use this method anytime they want to create/open some file or directory from within an event handler. If this method returns true, then the file or directory must be created/opened using the struct's CreateFileDirect method rather than the Windows API's CreateFile function, because the latter could trigger recursion and cause a system deadlock.

NtStatusToWin32Error Method (CBFilter Component)

This method converts a native status code to a Win32 error code.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) NtStatusToWin32Error(Status int32) (int32, error)

Remarks

This method converts the native status code specified by Status to a Win32 error code. If the specified native status code does not map directly to a Win32 error code, this method returns ERROR_MR_MID_NOT_FOUND (317).

QueryFileInformationDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method returns various kinds of information about a file object.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) QueryFileInformationDirect(FileHandle int64, FileInformation []byte, FileInformationClass int32, BytesTransferred *int32) error

Remarks

Applications may call this method to query various kinds of information about the file or directory using the open handle. The method uses the NtQueryInformationFile Windows API function to retrieve the information.

The FileHandle parameter specifies the file that should be updated. The value passed for this parameter must be a file handle obtained from the CreateFileDirect method; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The InformationClass parameter specifies the class of information to be query. For the list of supported classes, please refer to the documentation of the Windows API's NtQueryInformationFile function.

FileInformation is a buffer that must contain the information queried. The exact size and format of the information depend on InformationClass and are described in the NtQueryInformationFile help topic.

BytesTrasferredThe actual bytes of information received on completion.

QueryFileSecurityDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method retrieves security information of a file.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) QueryFileSecurityDirect(FileHandle int64, SecurityInformation int32, SecurityDescriptor []byte, LengthNeeded *int32) error

Remarks

Applications may call this method to query security attributes of the file or directory using the open handle. The method uses the NtQuerySecurityObject Windows API function to change the security attributes.

The FileHandle parameter specifies the file that should be queried. The value passed for this parameter must be a file handle obtained from the CreateFileDirect method; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The SecurityInformation parameter specifies the information to be queried as a combination of one or more of the following:

• OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• GROUP_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• SACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION

Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to the memory buffer that receives the requested data. It is available only if the length of the buffer is greater than 0. The data must be formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format. Please refer to these articles for more information about self-relative security descriptors.

The LengthNeeded parameter points to a caller-allocated variable that receives the number of bytes required to store the copied security descriptor.

RemoveVirtualFile Method (CBFilter Component)

This method removes a virtual file from the list of virtual entries.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) RemoveVirtualFile(FileName string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method removes a previously added virtual file identified by FileName from the list of virtual entries, managed by the struct.

The FileName parameter must contain the same value as the one used to add a virtual file earlier.

The method will return true if the file was found and removed from the list and false if the file was not found in the list. An error will be reported if removal of the file failed on the driver side.

ResetTimeout Method (CBFilter Component)

This method resets the timeout duration for the current event handler.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) ResetTimeout(Timeout int32) (bool, error)

Remarks

When event timeouts are being enforced, this method can be called within an event handler to inform the struct that request processing is taking longer than expected.

If called successfully, this method returns true, and the current event handler's timeout timer is immediately reset to 0; when it reaches the number of milliseconds specified by Timeout, the driver will either "release" the underlying request and pass it onwards, or cancel it by reporting an error; whichever is most appropriate for the event in question. Please refer to the Timeouts topic for more information.

Passing 0 for Timeout disables the timeout timer for the current event handler, allowing it to take as long as it needs to complete.

Note: When several events are fired for the same file concurrently (if the SerializeAccess configuration setting is disabled), and ResetTimeout is called from one of the handlers of these events, this method will reset the timer for all currently executed event handlers.

Note: This method can be called only within events.

SetFileInformationDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method sets the file information of a file opened using CreateFileDirect.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) SetFileInformationDirect(FileHandle int64, InformationClass int32, FileInformation []byte) error

Remarks

Applications may call this method to change various kinds of information about a file that was opened using the CreateFileDirect method.

The FileHandle parameter specifies the file that should be updated. The value passed for this parameter must be a file handle obtained from the CreateFileDirect method; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The InformationClass parameter specifies the class of information to be set. For the list of supported classes, please refer to the documentation of the Windows API's FltSetInformationFile function.

Note: Only a limited subset of classes comparing to similar functions like NtSetInformationFile or NtQueryInformationFile is supported by this function.

FileInformation is a buffer that must contain the information to be set. The exact size and format of the information depend on InformationClass and are described in the FltSetInformationFile help topic.

SetFileSecurityDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method sets security information of a file.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) SetFileSecurityDirect(FileHandle int64, SecurityInformation int32, SecurityDescriptor []byte) error

Remarks

Applications may call this method to set security attributes of the file or directory using the open handle. The method uses the NtSetSecurityObject Windows API function to query the security attributes.

The FileHandle parameter specifies the file that should be updated. The value passed for this parameter must be a file handle obtained from the CreateFileDirect method; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The SecurityInformation parameter indicates which pieces of security information must be set. This value is a bitfield; possible flags include (but are not limited to):

• OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• GROUP_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION
• SACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION

Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data-type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains data indicated by SecurityInformation. The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format. Please refer to those articles for more information about self-relative security descriptors.

SetFileSizeDirect Method (CBFilter Component)

This method resizes a file by passing the request directly to the filesystem.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) SetFileSizeDirect(FileHandle int64, Size int64) (bool, error)

Remarks

Applications can call this method in filesystem-related event handlers to resize a file without sending the request through the filesystem filter driver stack. If the file is resized successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

The FileHandle parameter specifies the file that should be resized. The value passed for this parameter must be a file handle obtained from the CreateFileDirect method; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The Size parameter specifies the new file size, in bytes.

To set file allocation size or valid file length, you may use the SetFileInformationDirect method.

Note: This method can be called only within events.

ShutdownSystem Method (CBFilter Component)

Shuts down or reboots the operating system.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) ShutdownSystem(ShutdownPrompt string, Timeout int32, ForceCloseApps bool, Reboot bool) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method shuts down or (if Reboot is true) reboots the operating system. If the appropriate privileges cannot be obtained, or if the InitiateSystemShutdown system call returns false, then this method will return false; otherwise, it returns true. This method can be used if the installation or uninstallation function requires the system to be rebooted in order to complete.

ShutdownPrompt, if non-empty, specifies a message that the OS should display to the user for Timeout seconds. If empty string is passed for ShutdownPrompt, no message is displayed and the Timeout parameter's value is ignored.

ForceCloseApps specifies whether the OS should forcefully close all applications. Please keep in mind that forceful closing of applications with unsaved data can lead to data loss.

Reboot specifies whether the OS should reboot (true) or just shut down (false).

This method is available in both the struct API and the Installer DLL included with the product; please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information about the latter.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

StartFilter Method (CBFilter Component)

This method starts filtering filesystem operations.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) StartFilter(Timeout int32) error

Remarks

This method attaches the filter, causing the struct's system driver to start filtering filesystem operations according to the filter rules currently present. Rules can be added and removed both before and after this method is called, so long as the Initialize method is called before doing anything else.

This method can fail for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) the following:

• If the struct's system driver has not been properly installed, or is awaiting a system reboot (as indicated by the return value of Install), this method fails with an ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2) error code.
• If the Initialize method has not been called yet, this method fails with an ERROR_NOT_READY (21) error code.
• If the filter is already Active, this method fails with an ERROR_CONNECTION_ACTIVE (1230) error code.
• If an invalid value is passed for Timeout, this method fails with an ERROR_IMPLEMENTATION_LIMIT (1292) error code.

Timeout

Timeout specifies how many milliseconds the driver should wait for events to execute before releasing or cancelling the underlying OS requests; please refer to the Timeouts topic for more information. Valid values are 0, which disables event timeouts, and values greater than or equal to 3000. When event timeouts are in effect, event handlers can call ResetTimeout to reset the timer if they require additional time to complete.

StopFilter Method (CBFilter Component)

This method stops filtering filesystem operations.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) StopFilter() error

Remarks

This method detaches the filter, causing the struct's system driver to stop filtering filesystem operations. This method will block until all pending requests have been completed and the filter has been detached.

SuspendDefaultRules Method (CBFilter Component)

This method suspends all default rules until the application exits.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) SuspendDefaultRules(ProductGUID string) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method suspends (i.e., deactivates) all default rules associated with the application identified by ProductGUID until the application exits. If the rules are suspended successfully, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

In most cases, the value passed for the ProductGUID parameter should be the same one that was used to call the Initialize method.

When the application exits, the struct's system driver will reactivate the suspended rules and start enforcing them once again.

SuspendFileEvents Method (CBFilter Component)

This method suspends all events for a particular file or directory until all of its handles have been closed.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) SuspendFileEvents() error

Remarks

Applications can call this method from an AfterCreateFile or AfterOpenFile event to suspend all further events for the file or directory that the event fired for. The suspension will remain in effect until all handles to said file or directory have been closed, at which point the struct will once again fire events for it (if it is accessed again).

Typically, this method should be used only as a "last resort"; that is, when the application cannot achieve the same outcome through the use of more granular standard filter rules. Said another way, it is almost always more efficient for an application to exclude files or directories implicitly using standard filter rules, if possible, than it is to exclude them explicitly using this method.

Note: This method can be called only within the AfterCreateFile and AfterOpenFile events.

ToggleProcessProtection Method (CBFilter Component)

This method enables or disables termination protection for the application.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) ToggleProcessProtection(Enabled bool) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method controls the termination protection mechanism, which applications can enable to prevent their process and threads from being terminated. If successful, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

The Enabled parameter specifies whether termination protection should be enabled (true) or disabled (false); it is disabled by default. If termination protection is enabled, an application must disable it before attempting to exit.

Note: When developing a GUI-based application, please keep in mind that the termination protection mechanism does not intercept Windows' notifications like WM_CLOSE or WM_QUIT; applications must intercept and handle such messages themselves if they wish to protect their UI. Please refer to Microsoft's Window Notifications articles for more information.

Uninstall Method (CBFilter Component)

This method uninstalls the class's system driver.

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) Uninstall(CabFileName string, ProductGUID string, InstalledPath string, Flags int32) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method is used to uninstall the struct's system driver. If the system must be rebooted to complete the uninstallation process, this method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Important: To upgrade the struct's driver, use only the Install method. Previously installed versions of the driver should not be uninstalled first. Calling the Install method will upgrade the previously installed version.

Please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information.

The same values must be passed for the CabFileName, ProductGUID, and InstalledPath parameters as were passed when Install was called; please refer to its documentation for more information.

Flags specifies which versions of the struct's system driver should be uninstalled and which should be set by ORing together one or more of the following values:

This method is available in both the struct API and the Installer DLL included with the product; please refer to the Driver Installation topic for more information about the latter.

This method requires administrative rights to execute successfully. If the user account of the process that calls this method doesn't have such rights, the call will fail with an ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD (0x0522) error.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.

UpdateVirtualFile Method (CBFilter Component)

This method updates known information about a virtual file .

Syntax

func (obj *CBFilter) UpdateVirtualFile(FileName string, CreationTime time.Time, LastAccessTime time.Time, LastWriteTime time.Time, ChangeTime time.Time, Size int64, Attributes int32) (bool, error)

Remarks

This method updates the information about the virtual file identified by FileName.

The FileName parameter must contain the same value as the one used to add a virtual file earlier.

CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, ChangeTime should contain new time values for the file, specified in UTC; any of the time values may be January 1, 1601 00:00:00 UTC to indicate that the existing value of the corresponding time must remain unchanged.

Size must be set to the new size of the file to update the known file size or to -1 to indicate that the size didn't change.

Attributes must be set to new file's attributes. Set this parameter to 0 to indicate that the existing attributes must remain unchanged.

• FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL: This attribute is valid only when used alone; it "resets" a file's attributes.
• Please refer to Microsoft's File Attribute Constants article for attribute descriptions.

The method will return true if the file was found and updated and false if the file was not found in the list. An error will be reported if updating the file failed on the driver side.

AfterCanFileBeDeleted Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after the OS marks a file or directory for deletion or removes such a mark.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterCanFileBeDeleted event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) RequestType() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) CanDelete() bool
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) Status() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) SetStatus(value int32)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) FileContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) SetFileContext(value int64)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) HandleContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) SetHandleContext(value int64)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) EventContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterCanFileBeDeleted event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCanFileBeDeletedHandler() CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCanFileBeDeletedHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCanFileBeDeletedEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the OS marks the file or directory specified by FileName for deletion or removes such a mark. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

If the file or directory is marked for deletion, they will not be removed immediately but will actually be removed when the last handle is closed. Moreover, it is possible that a future call to a system function will remove the mark, so this event is not a final indicator that the file or directory will be deleted.

Files and directories can be deleted in two ways: (1) a file or directory can be opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, or (2) some process may call Windows API's NtSetInformationFile function with FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION or FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION_EX structure as a parameter.

If the file or directory is created or opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, this event is fired shortly after the AfterCreateFile or AfterOpenFile event.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_CAN_DELETE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The CanDelete parameter reflects whether the file or directory will be deleted.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterCleanupFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after a file or directory handle is closed.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterCleanupFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) FileContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) SetFileContext(value int64)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) HandleContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) SetHandleContext(value int64)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) EventContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterCleanupFile event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCleanupFileHandler() CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCleanupFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCleanupFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after a handle to the file or directory specified by FileName is closed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This event differs from AfterCloseFile in that AfterCleanupFile fires immediately after an open handle to the specified file or directory is closed by a process, whereas AfterCloseFile may be fired much later when the OS decides that the file or directory can be formally closed.

Other events may fire for the file or directory in the time between when this event fires and when the AfterCloseFile event fires. For example, system components, such as the memory manager or cache manager, may cause the AfterReadFile and AfterWriteFile events to fire.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_CLEANUP flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterCloseEnumeration Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after a directory enumeration operation finishes.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterCloseEnumeration event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) DirectoryName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) DirectoryContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) HandleContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) EnumerationContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterCloseEnumeration event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCloseEnumerationHandler() CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCloseEnumerationHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCloseEnumerationEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after enumeration of the directory specified by DirectoryName finishes. For more information about the DirectoryName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_CLOSE flag (directory enumerations are typically closed immediately before a directory is closed).

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The EnumerationContext parameter is a placeholder for application-defined data associated with the enumeration. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterCloseFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after a file or directory is closed.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterCloseFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs) FileContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs) SetFileContext(value int64)

func (args *CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs) HandleContext() int64

// CBFilterAfterCloseFileEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterCloseFile event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterCloseFileEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterCloseFileEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCloseFileHandler() CBFilterAfterCloseFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCloseFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCloseFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the file or directory specified by FileName is closed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_CLOSE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

If the file or directory was marked for deletion earlier, the AfterDeleteFile will fire shortly before this event.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterCreateFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after a file or directory is created.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterCreateFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs) ExistingAttributes() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs) Isolate() bool
func (args *CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs) BackendFileName() string

// CBFilterAfterCreateFileEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterCreateFile event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterCreateFileEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterCreateFileEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCreateFileHandler() CBFilterAfterCreateFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCreateFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCreateFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the file or directory specified by FileName is created. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or AfterOpenFile.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_CREATE flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory creation requests.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

If Isolate was set to true in the BeforeCreateFile or BeforeOpenFile events, the value of the Isolate and BackendFileName parameters in this event will contain the values initially set in those events. Additionally, if a file was added using the AddVirtualFile method Isolate will be true.

The DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to the native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request was for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present if it was specified by the calling process or if the existing filesystem entry is a directory.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE; Note: Because files can be deleted in different ways, do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the AfterCanFileBeDeleted event will fire after this event.

If the file is created with Extended Attributes passed in the request, the AfterSetEa event will fire after this event.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The CreationStatus parameter indicates whether the file was created or opened and can be one of the following values:

Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different creation status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

When the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled, this event may fire even if the specified file or directory has not been created or opened, in which case the Status parameter will be non-zero. When this occurs, applications must not alter the FileContext and HandleContext parameters.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterCreateHardLink Event (CBFilter Component)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterCreateHardLinkHandler() CBFilterAfterCreateHardLinkEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterCreateHardLinkHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterCreateHardLinkEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after a hard link to the file specified by FileName is created. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to Microsoft's Hard Links article for more information about hard links.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_CREATE_HARD_LINK flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The LinkName parameter reflects the name of the created hard link.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires after the file or directory specified by FileName is deleted. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. More specifically, this event is fired after the final IRP_MJ_CLOSE IRP is processed by the filesystem (i.e., after the last handle to the file or directory is closed and the file or directory is gone) and before AfterCloseFile fires.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_DELETE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterDeleteReparsePointHandler() CBFilterAfterDeleteReparsePointEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterDeleteReparsePointHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterDeleteReparsePointEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the OS deletes a reparse point from a file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Note: The file or directory is not deleted, only a reparse point is.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_DELETE_REPARSE_POINT flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The ReparseBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that specifies the known reparse point information. This information is provided for convenience. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterEnumerateDirectoryHandler() CBFilterAfterEnumerateDirectoryEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterEnumerateDirectoryHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterEnumerateDirectoryEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after a directory entry (i.e., a file or subdirectory) is returned during enumeration of the directory specified by DirectoryName. For more information about the DirectoryName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to modify the entry's metadata before it gets reported to the requestor or even to prevent the entry from being reported in the first place.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_ENUMERATE_DIRECTORY flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Flags parameter specifies supplementary information about enumeration. It is a combination of zero or more values:

If the Flags parameter contains FS_ENUM_INDEX_SPECIFIED, the Index parameter contains the index as provided by the OS.

The FileName parameter reflects the name of the directory entry. .

The CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, and ChangeTime parameters specify the entry's time values, specified in UTC.

The Size parameter specifies the size of the file, in bytes; it must always be 0 for subdirectories.

The AllocationSize parameter specifies the amount of space allocated for the file, in bytes; it must always be 0 for subdirectories.

The FileId parameter specifies the unique Id of the entry, as reported by the filesystem (or, for virtual files, by the application itself). This Id is used by the network redirector, and some third-party applications, to open files and directories by Id instead of by name. The root directory always uses the predefined Id 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

The Attributes parameter specifies the entry's attributes; please refer to Microsoft's File Attribute Constants article for attribute descriptions.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The DirectoryContext, HandleContext, and EnumerationContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the directory, specific handle, and enumeration, respectively. (For general-purpose events, the DirectoryContext is called FileContext instead.) DirectoryContext corresponds to the FileContext in the file/directory creation, opening, and closing events. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the directory entry should actually be reported to the requestor; it is true by default. Setting this parameter to false will "hide" the directory entry (i.e., prevent it from being reported).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterFilterAttachToVolume Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after the filter attaches to a newly mounted filesystem volume.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterFilterAttachToVolume event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) VolumeName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) VolumeNameNT() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterFilterAttachToVolume event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterFilterAttachToVolumeHandler() CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterFilterAttachToVolumeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterFilterAttachToVolumeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the filter attaches to the newly mounted filesystem volume specified by VolumeNameNT and, when possible, VolumeName. Please refer to the FireVolumeEvents property for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if the FireVolumeEvents property includes the FS_MOUNT_CONTROL flag.

Note: This event won't fire for any volumes skipped during the BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event; please refer to its documentation for more information.

VolumeNameNT contains the name of the volume in the NT-native format, as received from the system. If the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is enabled, and if it was possible to convert the NT name to the DOS format with a drive letter, VolumeName will contain the name in this format; otherwise, it will be empty.

Applications can obtain additional information about a volume by retrieving its GUID using the GetVolumeGUID method, and then using that GUID to call various Windows API functions.

Applications can use this event to add volume-specific rules for the volume that has been mounted (keeping in mind that this event does not fire for volumes that are already present when StartFilter is called). Applications that intend to do so must ensure that proper thread synchronization techniques are used when manipulating or enumerating the rule lists, because this event's handler will always execute in the context of some worker thread. Note: if a path-based rule is added or removed, such a path should use the value from VolumeNameNT to avoid a possible deadlock, which may occur during resolving a DOS name to the NT format.

Applications must be aware that this event fires as a direct response to a filesystem state change (mount or unmount). Various system components or third-party actors can perform supplementary filesystem mounting and unmounting during main unmount operations (e.g., Volume Service is one such component). This can cause seemingly excessive events to be fired, and sometimes they can be fired out of order (such as two *Attach or *Detach events fired in a row).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterFilterDetachFromVolume Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires after the filter detaches from a filesystem volume.

Syntax

// CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs carries the CBFilter AfterFilterDetachFromVolume event's parameters.
type CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs) VolumeName() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs) VolumeNameNT() string
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter AfterFilterDetachFromVolume event's handler function.
type CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeHandler() CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the filter detaches from the filesystem volume specified by VolumeNameNT and, when possible, VolumeName, typically because of the volume being unmounted. Please refer to the FireVolumeEvents property for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if the FireVolumeEvents property includes the FS_MOUNT_CONTROL flag.

Note: This event won't fire for any volumes skipped during the BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event; please refer to its documentation for more information.

Applications should use this event to remove volume-specific rules for the volume that has been unmounted. Applications that intend to do so must ensure that proper thread synchronization techniques are used when manipulating or enumerating the rule lists, because this event's handler will always execute in the context of some worker thread. Note: if a path-based rule is added or removed, such a path should use the value from VolumeNameNT to avoid a possible deadlock, which may occur during resolving a DOS name to the NT format.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterFsctlHandler() CBFilterAfterFsctlEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterFsctlHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterFsctlEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after an IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL (FSCTL) request is processed. Such requests are sent using the Windows API's DeviceIoControl function (user mode), or ZwFsControlFile function (kernel mode); please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications may use this event to modify the output data (if there are any) before the response is returned to the requestor. Applications that choose to do this must:

1. copy no more than OutBufferLength bytes into OutBuffer; and
2. update the OutBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in OutBuffer.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_FSCTL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The FileName parameter reflects the file, directory, or volume targeted by the request.

The FsControlCode parameter reflects the requested filesystem control code (FSCTL).

The InBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The InBufferLength and InBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of InBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; InBufferValidBytes may be less than InBufferLength (unless the request did not include data, in which case both will be 0).

The OutBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data returned by the operation. The OutBufferLength and OutBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of OutBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; OutBufferValidBytes may be less than OutBufferLength (unless the operation did not return data, in which case both will be 0).

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterGetFileSecurityHandler() CBFilterAfterGetFileSecurityEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterGetFileSecurityHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterGetFileSecurityEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after security attributes are retrieved for the file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Note: This event will not fire every time a file or directory is accessed. To check file security upon each access to a file or directory, implement the file create and open events and perform the necessary checks there instead.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_GET_SECURITY flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The SecurityInformation parameter indicates which pieces of security information were requested. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data-type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the requested security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications that wish to modify the security information may do so by replacing the data in the SecurityDescriptor buffer. If the current Length is too small to accommodate the new security information, set LengthNeeded to the number of bytes necessary to hold the data and return the ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code via ResultCode.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterGetReparsePointHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterGetReparsePointEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after reparse point information is retrieved for the file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_GET_REPARSE_POINT flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The ReparseBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the requested reparse point information. The DataLength parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

Applications that wish to modify the reparse point information may do so by replacing the data in the ReparseBuffer buffer. If the current BufferLength is too small to accommodate the new information, the application should write as much data as possible, set LengthNeeded appropriately, and return the STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW status code via Status.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

Depending on how the request originator accessed the specified file or directory, it may or may not currently be open. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters will be absent if it is not open, in which case they will be nil.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires after an IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL (IOCTL) request is processed. Such requests are sent using the Windows API's DeviceIoControl function (user mode), or ZwDeviceIoControlFile function (kernel mode). Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications may use this event to modify the output data (if there are any) before the response is returned to the requestor. Applications that choose to do this must:

1. copy no more than OutBufferLength bytes into OutBuffer; and
2. update the OutBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in OutBuffer.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_IOCTL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The FileName parameter reflects the file, directory, or volume targeted by the request.

The IoControlCode parameter reflects the requested I/O control code (IOCTL).

The InBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The InBufferLength and InBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of InBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; InBufferValidBytes may be less than InBufferLength (unless the request did not include data, in which case both will be 0).

The OutBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data returned by the operation. The OutBufferLength and OutBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of OutBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; OutBufferValidBytes may be less than OutBufferLength (unless the operation did not return data, in which case both will be 0).

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterLockHandler() CBFilterAfterLockEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterLockHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterLockEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after a range of bytes in the file specified by FileName is locked. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This request is made either by the OS, or on behalf of a user mode application that called the Windows API's LockFile or LockFileEx function.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_LOCK_CONTROL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Offset parameter reflects the byte offset where the byte range lock starts.

The Length parameter reflects the length of the byte range lock.

The Key parameter reflects the key that the byte range lock is associated with. This key is used to identify the byte range lock in later unlock-by-key requests.

The FailImmediately parameter indicates whether the request was to fail if the lock could not be granted immediately.

The ExclusiveLock parameter indicates whether the byte range lock was to be exclusive (true) or shared (false).

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterOpenFileHandler() CBFilterAfterOpenFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterOpenFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterOpenFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after the file or directory specified by FileName is opened. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or AfterCreateFile.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_OPEN flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory open requests.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

If Isolate was set to true in the BeforeCreateFile or BeforeOpenFile events, the value of the Isolate and BackendFileName parameters in this event will contain the values initially set in those events. Additionally, if a file was added using the AddVirtualFile method Isolate will be true.

The DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to the native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request was for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present if it was specified by the calling process or if the existing filesystem entry is a directory.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE; Note: Because files can be deleted in different ways, do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the AfterCanFileBeDeleted event will fire after this event.

If the file is opened with extended attributes passed in the request, the AfterSetEa event will fire after this event.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The CreationStatus parameter indicates whether the file was created or opened and can be one of the following values:

Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different creation status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

When the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled, this event may fire even if the specified file or directory has not been created or opened, in which case the Status parameter will be non-zero. When this occurs, applications must not alter the FileContext and HandleContext parameters.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

AfterQueryEa Event (CBFilter Component)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterQueryEaHandler() CBFilterAfterQueryEaEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterQueryEaHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterQueryEaEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after information about extended attributes of the file specified by FileName is retrieved using the ZwQueryEaFile or FltQueryEaFile function of the system API. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_QUERY_EA flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the requested information. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

ReturnSingleEntry specifies that the filesystem had to return only the first entry it has found.

EaList is an optional parameter that points to a caller-supplied memory buffer specifying the extended attributes to be queried. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_GET_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The EaListLength parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, it will contain 0.

EaIndex is an optional parameter that specifies the starting index of the attribute, information about which was requested. This parameter is ignored by the filesystem if EaList points to a nonempty list. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, the parameter will contain -1.

The RestartScan parameter instructs the filesystem to restart enumeration of extended attributes from the first entry. If the parameter is false, retrieval of the extended attributes is resumed by the filesystem after a previous request.

LengthReturned is an optional parameter that contains the size, in bytes, of the information, returned in the Buffer.

A handler may modify the contents of the Buffer given that the size of the modified data does not exceed the length of the buffer. When modifying the data, a handler should update LengthReturned accordingly.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired.

This event fires after data are read from the file specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to modify the data that were read from the file before it is returned to the requestor. Applications that choose to do this must:

1. enable the ModifiableReadWriteBuffers configuration setting (i.e., before this event fires);
2. copy no more than BytesToRead bytes into Buffer; and
3. update the BytesRead parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in Buffer.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_READ flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Position parameter reflects the byte offset in the file at which reading started.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the data that were read from the file. The BufferLength parameter reflects the capacity of Buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The BytesToRead parameter reflects how many bytes were to be read from the file (i.e., how many bytes the requestor expects will be read).

The Direction parameter indicates the request direction; please refer to the Cached and Non-Cached Requests topic for more information. Possible values are as follows:

The BytesRead parameter specifies how many bytes were actually read from the file, and thus the length of the data in Buffer. This parameter's value must not exceed BufferLength (and should not exceed BytesToRead; please refer to BeforeReadFile for more information).

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the system's cache manager or memory manager initiated the operation, HandleContext may be absent, in which case it will be nil.)

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnAfterWriteFileHandler() CBFilterAfterWriteFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnAfterWriteFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterAfterWriteFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after data are written to the file specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to inspect the data that were written to the file, but must not attempt to alter said data. If, during BeforeWriteFile, an application causes less data than requested to be written to the file, it should use this event to set BytesWritten back to the expected value (i.e., BytesToWrite) to prevent the requestor from behaving unexpectedly.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_AFTER_WRITE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Position parameter reflects the byte offset in the file at which writing started. A value of -1 means "append to the end of the file".

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data that, if the request was successful, were written to the file. The BufferLength parameter reflects the capacity of Buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The BytesToWrite parameter reflects how many bytes were to be written to the file (i.e., how many bytes the requestor expects will be written).

The Direction parameter indicates the request direction; please refer to the Cached and Non-Cached Requests topic for more information. Possible values are as follows:

The BytesWritten parameter specifies how many bytes were actually written to the file. This parameter's value must not exceed BufferLength (and should not exceed BytesToWrite; please refer to BeforeWriteFile for more information).

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled. Applications may change this parameter's value if they want a different NT status code to be returned.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the system's cache manager or memory manager initiated the operation, HandleContext may be absent, in which case it will be nil.)

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeCanFileBeDeleted Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before the OS attempts to mark a file or directory for deletion or remove such a mark.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeCanFileBeDeleted event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) FileName() string

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeCanFileBeDeletedHandler() CBFilterBeforeCanFileBeDeletedEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeCanFileBeDeletedHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeCanFileBeDeletedEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the OS marks the file or directory specified by FileName for deletion or removes such a mark. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Files and directories can be deleted in two ways: (1) a file or directory can be opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, or (2) some process may call Windows API's NtSetInformationFile function with FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION or FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION_EX structure as a parameter.

If the file or directory is created or opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, this event is fired shortly before the BeforeCreateFile or BeforeOpenFile event.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_CAN_DELETE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

The CanDelete parameter specifies whether the file or directory will be deleted. This parameter can be true or false depending on which request the OS has sent. Applications may prevent deletion of the file or directory by setting CanDelete to false. Changing CanDelete from false to true may or may not have the effect on the file being deleted later, so such a change should be avoided.

Note: If the file is opened with FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag set and the event handler permits file deletion, such flag cannot be removed later (even with the call to NtSetInformationFile() API function).

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

The effect of ProcessRequest depends on what operation caused the event to fire:

• If the event fires during the file open operation where the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag is set,
  • setting CanDelete to false and ProcessRequest to true causes the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag to be removed and the file open request to be passed further to the filesystem; and
  • setting CanDelete to false and ProcessRequest to false causes the file open request to fail with ACCESS_DENIED error.
• If the event fires in the context of the call to NtSetInformationFile Windows API function, setting CanDelete to false causes the DeleteFlag parameter to be set to false and the request to be passed further to the filesystem. This combination effectively resets the file deletion state, known to the filesystem, to the false ("do not delete") value. The value of ProcessRequest in this case does not matter as the new value must reach the filesystem.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the specified file or directory was not opened before the request, both contexts will be absent, in which case these parameters will be nil.)

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeCleanupFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before a file or directory handle is closed.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeCleanupFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeCleanupFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeCleanupFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeCleanupFileEventArgs) FileName() string

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeCleanupFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeCleanupFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeCleanupFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeCleanupFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before a handle to the file or directory specified by FileName is closed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This event differs from BeforeCloseFile in that BeforeCleanupFile fires immediately before an open handle to the specified file or directory is closed by a process, whereas BeforeCloseFile may be fired much later when the OS itself decides that the file or directory can be formally closed.

Other events may fire for the file or directory in the time between when this event fires and when the BeforeCloseFile event fires. For example, system components such as the memory manager or cache manager may cause the BeforeReadFile and BeforeWriteFile events to fire.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_CLEANUP flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeCreateFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeCreateFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeCreateFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeCreateFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the file or directory specified by FileName is created. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or BeforeOpenFile.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters, or to block the request entirely. To do the latter, set ProcessRequest to false; and set Status to the desired NT status (the parameter is set to STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED before the event is fired).

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_CREATE flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory creation requests.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

To redirect file access to another location, or to provide custom file content, set Isolate to true. For instance if Process A and Process B both access a file, isolation allows returning different content to each process. When Isolate is set to true the BackendFileName parameter determines if the file is redirected, and to where.

When requests are redirected to an existing file on disk a dedicated cache is created for the isolated file by the CBFilter driver. This cache ensures that the data it holds do not interfere with the data read from or written to the file when it is opened without isolation. Please see the File Isolation topic for further details.

To ensure that isolation works properly, on Windows 11, the BypassIORequest event is fired when the OS makes a request to enable BypassIO on this file, giving a way for the application to forbid BypassIO with an application-specific error code and explanation.

Requests may also be redirected to another file or directory via the ReparseFileName event which is fired before this event. In order for the ReparseFileName event to fire, a standard filter rule must exist that includes the FS_CE_REPARSE_FILENAME flag. For more details, please see the ReparseFileName topic.

The initial values of DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE Internet Relay Programming).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

When the file being created or opened is virtual, the event handler must inspect and handle the value of the ShareMode parameter as a filesystem would normally do it.

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

When the file being created or opened is virtual, the event handler must inspect and handle the value of the CreateDisposition parameter as a filesystem would normally do it. This includes adjusting the file size and updating the time attributes depending on the flag. For a virtual file, the driver returns the CreationStatus value that is derived from CreateDisposition as follows: If the event handler needs to change the returned CreationStatus, it should change the value of the CreateDisposition to the FILE_DISPOSITION_*** value that leads to the desired CreationStatus value (e.g. set the value to FILE_DISPOSITION_OPEN_EXISTING so that the driver returns CREATION_STATUS_OPENED).

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the Native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to Native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request is for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present only if it was specified by the calling process; its presence or absence does not indicate the real presence of the attribute on the file or directory on disk.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE;

Note: Files can be deleted in different ways, so do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

To prevent a file or directory from being opened, set the ResultCode parameter to a non-zero value (typically ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (5)).

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If an application needs to alter the security information, it can do this by placing up to Length bytes of information into the SecurityDescriptor buffer.

Note: Changing the security data is possible only when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled.

If the capacity reflected by the Length parameter is not enough to accommodate the security information, set LengthNeeded to the number of bytes necessary to hold the data, and return the ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code via ResultCode.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the BeforeCanFileBeDeleted event will fire before this event.

If the file is opened with extended attributes passed in the request, the BeforeSetEa event will fire after this event.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires before a hard link to the file specified by FileName is created. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to Microsoft's Hard Links article for more information about hard links.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters, or to block the request entirely. To do the latter, set ProcessRequest to false.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_CREATE_HARD_LINK flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The LinkName parameter reflects the name of the new hard link.

The ReplaceIfExists parameter specifies what to do if a hard link with the specified LinkName already exists. If this parameter is true, the new hard link will replace the existing hard link; if this parameter is false, the operation will fail.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeDeleteFile Event (CBFilter Component)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeDeleteFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeDeleteFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeDeleteFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeDeleteFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the file or directory specified by FileName is deleted. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. More specifically, this event is fired before the final IRM_MJ_CLOSE Internet Relay Programming (IRP) is processed by the filesystem and before BeforeCloseFile fires.

Applications may use this event to obtain information about the specified file or directory, which still exists at the time this event fires. This event cannot be used to prevent a deletion; use the BeforeCanFileBeDeleted event instead.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_DELETE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeDeleteReparsePointHandler() CBFilterBeforeDeleteReparsePointEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeDeleteReparsePointHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeDeleteReparsePointEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the OS deletes a reparse point from a file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Note: The file or directory is not deleted, only the reparse point is.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_DELETE_REPARSE_POINT flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The ReparseBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that specifies the known reparse point information. This information is provided for convenience. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

BeforeEnumerateDirectory Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when an enumeration request is sent by the OS.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeEnumerateDirectory event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEventArgs) DirectoryName() string
func (args *CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEventArgs) Flags() int32

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeEnumerateDirectoryHandler() CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeEnumerateDirectoryHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeEnumerateDirectoryEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the OS sends a request for reading one or more entries of the directory specified by DirectoryName. For more information about the DirectoryName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to record the request and optionally block it.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_ENUMERATE_DIRECTORY flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Flags parameter specifies supplementary information about enumeration. It is a combination of zero or more values:

If the Flags parameter contains FS_ENUM_INDEX_SPECIFIED, the Index parameter contains the index as provided by the OS.

The Mask parameter contains the mask for the enumeration. This value may contain any combination of valid file name characters and wildcards (the * and ? characters). Alternatively, it may be an exact file name (i.e., a value without any wildcards), as some applications query file information by specifying an exact file name in an enumeration. When TranslateDOSCharsInEnumMasks is false, this parameter may contain a so-called DOS wildcard (please, refer to the description of this setting for more information). The mask can also be empty in rare cases: this happens when the OS request is a continuation of a previous enumeration with a valid non-zero Index.

The DirectoryContext, HandleContext, and EnumerationContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the directory, specific handle, and enumeration, respectively. (For general-purpose events, the DirectoryContext is called FileContext instead.) DirectoryContext corresponds to the FileContext in the file/directory creation, opening, and closing events. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeFilterAttachToVolume Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before the filter attaches to a newly mounted filesystem volume.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) VolumeName() string
func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) VolumeNameNT() string
func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) SkipVolume() bool
func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) SetSkipVolume(value bool)

func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event's handler function.
type CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeHandler() CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeFilterAttachToVolumeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the filter attaches to the newly mounted filesystem volume specified by VolumeNameNT and, when possible, VolumeName. Please refer to the FireVolumeEvents property for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if the FireVolumeEvents property includes the FS_MOUNT_CONTROL flag.

VolumeNameNT contains the name of the volume in the NT-native format, as received from the system. If the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is enabled, and if it was possible to convert the NT name to the DOS format with a drive letter, VolumeName will contain the name in this format; otherwise, it will be empty.

Applications can obtain additional information about a volume by retrieving its GUID using the GetVolumeGUID method, and then using that GUID to call various Windows API functions.

The SkipVolume parameter specifies whether the struct's system driver should skip the specified volume (i.e., not attach the filter to it). Setting this parameter to true will cause all filesystem operations that target to volume to be completely ignored by the struct's system driver. It also will prevent any of the following events from firing for the volume:

• AfterFilterAttachToVolume
• NotifyFilterAttachToVolume
• AfterFilterDetachFromVolume
• NotifyFilterDetachFromVolume

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Applications must be aware that this event fires as a direct response to a filesystem state change (mount or unmount). Various system components or third-party actors can perform supplementary filesystem mounting and unmounting during main unmount operations (e.g., Volume Service is one such component). This can cause seemingly excessive events to be fired, and sometimes they can be fired out of order (such as two *Attach or *Detach events fired in a row).

BeforeFsctl Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before an IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL request is processed.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeFsctlEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeFsctl event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeFsctlEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeFsctlEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterBeforeFsctlEventArgs) FsControlCode() int32

// CBFilterBeforeFsctlEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter BeforeFsctl event's handler function.
type CBFilterBeforeFsctlEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterBeforeFsctlEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeFsctlHandler() CBFilterBeforeFsctlEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeFsctlHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeFsctlEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before an IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL (FSCTL) request is processed. Such requests are sent using the Windows API's DeviceIoControl function (user mode), or ZwFsControlFile function (kernel mode); please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications may use this event to modify the input data (if there are any) before the request continues onward. Applications that choose to do this must do the following:

1. Copy no more than InBufferLength bytes into InBuffer.
2. Update the InBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in InBuffer.

Alternatively, applications may use this event to handle the request (preventing it from continuing onward), in which case they must do the following:

1. Copy no more than OutBufferLength bytes into OutBuffer.
2. Update the OutBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in OutBuffer.
3. Set ProcessRequest to false to indicate that the request has been handled and should not continue onward.

(The first two steps are not applicable if the requested operation is not expected to return data.)

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_FSCTL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The FileName parameter reflects the file, directory, or volume targeted by the request.

The FsControlCode parameter reflects the requested filesystem control code (FSCTL).

The InBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The InBufferLength and InBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of InBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; InBufferValidBytes may be less than InBufferLength (unless the request did not include data, in which case both will be 0).

The OutBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that receives the data returned by the operation. The OutBufferLength and OutBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of OutBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; OutBufferValidBytes may be less than OutBufferLength (unless the operation is not expected to return data, in which case both will be 0).

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeGetFileSecurity Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before a file or directory's security attributes are retrieved.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeGetFileSecurity event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEventArgs) SecurityInformation() int32

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeGetFileSecurityHandler() CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeGetFileSecurityHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeGetFileSecurityEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before security attributes are retrieved for the file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Note: This event will not fire every time a file or directory is accessed. To check file security upon each access to a file or directory, implement the file create and open events and perform the necessary checks there instead.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_GET_SECURITY flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The SecurityInformation parameter indicates which pieces of security information are requested. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data-type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that receives the requested security information. The buffer referenced by the SecurityDescriptor parameter may be modified by the event handler if the operation is completed without passing it further to other filters and the filesystem driver. The Length parameter reflects the capacity of the SecurityDescriptor buffer, in bytes.

If the capacity reflected by the Length parameter is not sufficient to accommodate the security information, set LengthNeeded to the number of bytes necessary to hold the data, and return the ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code via ResultCode.

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The returned data will be formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeGetReparsePoint Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when the OS wants to read a reparse point for a file or directory.

Syntax

// CBFilterBeforeGetReparsePointEventArgs carries the CBFilter BeforeGetReparsePoint event's parameters.
type CBFilterBeforeGetReparsePointEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBeforeGetReparsePointEventArgs) FileName() string

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeGetReparsePointHandler() CBFilterBeforeGetReparsePointEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeGetReparsePointHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeGetReparsePointEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the OS wants to read a reparse point for the file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_GET_REPARSE_POINT flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

If an application desires to handle the event and does not pass the request further, it needs to fill ReparseBuffer with the reparse point data associated with the specified file or directory and set ReparseBufferLength to the number of bytes written. The ReparseBufferLength parameter's initial value reflects the capacity of the memory buffer pointed to by ReparseBuffer. If the buffer is too small to hold all of the reparse point data, then the application should write as much data to it as possible, set ReparseBufferLength appropriately, and return the ERROR_MORE_DATA error code via ResultCode.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

Depending on how the request originator accessed the specified file or directory, it may or may not currently be open. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters will be absent if it is not open, in which case they will be nil.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires before an IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL (IOCTL) request is processed. Such requests are sent using the Windows API's DeviceIoControl function (user mode), or ZwDeviceIoControlFile function (kernel mode). Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications may use this event to modify the input data (if there are any) before the request continues onward. Applications that choose to do this must do the following:

1. Copy no more than InBufferLength bytes into InBuffer.
2. Update the InBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in InBuffer.

Alternatively, applications may use this event to handle the request (preventing it from continuing onward), in which case they must do the following:

1. Copy no more than OutBufferLength bytes into OutBuffer.
2. Update the OutBufferValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in OutBuffer.
3. Set ProcessRequest to false to indicate that the request has been handled and should not continue onward.

(The first two steps are not applicable if the requested operation is not expected to return data.)

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_IOCTL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The FileName parameter reflects the file, directory, or volume targeted by the request.

The IoControlCode parameter reflects the requested I/O control code (IOCTL).

The InBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The InBufferLength and InBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of InBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; InBufferValidBytes may be less than InBufferLength (unless the request did not include data, in which case both will be 0).

The OutBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that receives the data returned by the operation. The OutBufferLength and OutBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of OutBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; OutBufferValidBytes may be less than OutBufferLength (unless the operation is not expected to return data, in which case both will be 0).

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires before a range of bytes in the file specified by FileName is locked. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This request is made either by the OS, or on behalf of a user mode application that called the Windows API's LockFile or LockFileEx function.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_LOCK_CONTROL flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Offset parameter specifies the byte offset where the byte range lock should start.

The Length parameter specifies the length of the byte range lock.

The Key parameter reflects the key that the byte range lock will be associated with. This key is used to identify the byte range lock in later unlock-by-key requests.

The FailImmediately parameter specifies whether the request should fail if the lock cannot be granted immediately.

The ExclusiveLock parameter specifies whether the byte range lock should be exclusive (true) or shared (false).

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeOpenFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeOpenFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeOpenFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeOpenFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the file or directory specified by FileName is opened. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or BeforeCreateFile.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters, or to block the request entirely. To do the latter, set ProcessRequest to false; and set Status to the desired NT status (the parameter is set to STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED before the event is fired).

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_OPEN flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory open requests.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

To redirect file access to another location, or to provide custom file content, set Isolate to true. For instance if Process A and Process B both access a file, isolation allows returning different content to each process. When Isolate is set to true the BackendFileName parameter determines if the file is redirected, and to where.

When requests are redirected to an existing file on disk a dedicated cache is created for the isolated file by the CBFilter driver. This cache ensures that the data it holds do not interfere with the data read from or written to the file when it is opened without isolation. Please see the File Isolation topic for further details.

To ensure that isolation works properly, on Windows 11, the BypassIORequest event is fired when the OS makes a request to enable BypassIO on this file, giving a way for the application to forbid BypassIO with an application-specific error code and explanation.

Requests may also be redirected to another file or directory via the ReparseFileName event which is fired before this event. In order for the ReparseFileName event to fire, a standard filter rule must exist that includes the FS_CE_REPARSE_FILENAME flag. For more details, please see the ReparseFileName topic.

The initial values of DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE Internet Relay Programming).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

When the file being created or opened is virtual, the event handler must inspect and handle the value of the ShareMode parameter as a filesystem would normally do it.

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

When the file being created or opened is virtual, the event handler must inspect and handle the value of the CreateDisposition parameter as a filesystem would normally do it. This includes adjusting the file size and updating the time attributes depending on the flag. For a virtual file, the driver returns the CreationStatus value that is derived from CreateDisposition as follows: If the event handler needs to change the returned CreationStatus, it should change the value of the CreateDisposition to the FILE_DISPOSITION_*** value that leads to the desired CreationStatus value (e.g. set the value to FILE_DISPOSITION_OPEN_EXISTING so that the driver returns CREATION_STATUS_OPENED).

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the Native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to Native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request is for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present only if it was specified by the calling process; its presence or absence does not indicate the real presence of the attribute on the file or directory on disk.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE;

Note: Files can be deleted in different ways, so do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

To prevent a file or directory from being opened, set the ResultCode parameter to a non-zero value (typically ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (5)).

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If an application needs to alter the security information, it can do this by placing up to Length bytes of information into the SecurityDescriptor buffer.

Note: Changing the security data is possible only when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled.

If the capacity reflected by the Length parameter is not enough to accommodate the security information, set LengthNeeded to the number of bytes necessary to hold the data, and return the ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code via ResultCode.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the BeforeCanFileBeDeleted event will fire before this event.

If the file is opened with extended attributes passed in the request, the BeforeSetEa event will fire after this event.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires before information about extended attributes of the file specified by FileName is retrieved using the ZwQueryEaFile or FltQueryEaFile function of the system API. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_QUERY_EA flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer, into which, if the request is successful, the filesystem will place the requested information. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The BufferLength parameter reflects the length of this buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

ReturnSingleEntry specifies that the filesystem had to return only the first entry it has found.

EaList is an optional parameter that points to a caller-supplied memory buffer specifying the extended attributes to be queried. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_GET_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The EaListLength parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, it will contain 0. The list may be modified by an event handler, if needed, provided that the size of the new or modified data does not exceed the value of the EaListLength parameter.

EaIndex is an optional parameter that specifies the starting index of the attribute, information about which is requested. This parameter is ignored by the filesystem if EaList points to a nonempty list. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, the parameter will contain -1.

The RestartScan parameter instructs the filesystem to restart enumeration of extended attributes from the first entry. If the parameter is false, retrieval of the extended attributes is resumed by the filesystem after a previous request. The parameter may be modified by an event handler if needed.

LengthReturned is an optional parameter that contains the size, in bytes, of the information, returned in the Buffer.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

Applications may use this event to modify the request's data before it continues onward, or to handle the request entirely (preventing it from continuing onward). In these cases, applications must do the following:

1. Copy no more than BufferLength bytes into Buffer.
2. Update the LengthReturned parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in Buffer.
3. If the request has been handled and should not continue onward, set ProcessRequest to false.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Remarks

This event fires before data are read from the file specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications that intend to modify a file's data after it is read may use this event to modify the request's parameters, if necessary (e.g., to ensure that the correct data are read from the file and made available for postprocessing during the AfterReadFile event). Applications may also use this event to block the request entirely by returning an appropriate error code (e.g., ACCESS_DENIED) via ResultCode.

Alternatively, applications may use this event to handle the underlying request, in which case they must do the following:

1. Enable the ModifiableReadWriteBuffers configuration setting (i.e., before this event fires).
2. Copy no more than BufferLength bytes into Buffer.
3. Update the BytesToRead parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in Buffer.
4. Set ProcessRequest to false to indicate that the request has been handled and should not continue onward.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_READ flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Position parameter specifies the byte offset in the file at which reading should start.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that receives the data read from the file. The BufferLength parameter reflects the capacity of Buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The BytesToRead parameter's initial value reflects how many bytes should be read from the file (i.e., how many bytes the requestor expects will be read). This parameter's value may be changed (for either of the reasons discussed above), but it must not exceed BufferLength.

Note: However, reading more or less data than requested is not expected behavior and likely will cause the requestor to misbehave. Applications that change BytesToRead, for any reason, should use the AfterReadFile event to "cover up" such behavior; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The Direction parameter indicates the request direction; please refer to the Cached and Non-Cached Requests topic for more information. Possible values are as follows:

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the system's cache manager or memory manager initiated the operation, HandleContext may be absent, in which case it will be nil.)

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeRenameOrMoveFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeRenameOrMoveFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeRenameOrMoveFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeRenameOrMoveFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the file or directory specified by FileName is renamed or moved to NewFileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters, or to block the request entirely. To do the latter, set ProcessRequest to false.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_RENAME flag. A rule's mask is matched against both previous and new file names, and the event will fire when either of the names matches the mask.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The ReplaceIfExists parameter specifies what to do if a file with the specified NewFileName already exists. If this parameter is true, the existing file will be overwritten by the file being renamed/moved; if this parameter is false, the operation will fail.

Note: Windows only allows files to be overwritten; if the destination is an existing directory, the request will be denied regardless of this parameter's value.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BeforeSetAllocationSize Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires before a file's allocation size is changed.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeSetAllocationSizeHandler() CBFilterBeforeSetAllocationSizeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeSetAllocationSizeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeSetAllocationSizeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before the allocation size of the file specified by FileName is changed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_SET_SIZES flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The AllocationSize parameter specifies the new allocation size, in bytes. A file's allocation size is typically larger than its actual size because filesystem operations often reserve space on disk before writing additional data to a file. Applications may track such situations and avoid reallocating disk space where possible to improve performance.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the system's cache manager or memory manager initiated the operation, HandleContext may be absent, in which case it will be nil.)

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeSetEaHandler() CBFilterBeforeSetEaEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeSetEaHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeSetEaEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before extended attributes are changed for the file specified by FileName using the ZwSetEaFile or FltSetEaFile function of the system API. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

If the file is created or opened with extended attributes passed in the request, this event will fire shortly after the BeforeCreateFile or BeforeOpenFile event.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_SET_EA flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that specifies the extended attribute information. The buffer referenced by the Buffer parameter may be modified when needed if the request is to be passed further to other filters and the filesystem driver. The Length parameter reflects the length of this buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively.

Remarks

This event fires before information about the file or directory specified by FileName is changed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This event typically fires in response to the Windows API's NtSetInformationFile function.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's data before it continues onward, in which case they must do the following:

1. Copy no more than BufferLength bytes into Buffer.
2. Update the ValidBytes parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in Buffer.

Alternatively, applications may use this event to handle the underlying request, preventing it from continuing onward, by setting ProcessRequest to false.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_SET_FILE_INFO flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The FileInformationClass parameter indicates what kind of file information is to be changed. Please refer to the NtSetInformationFile function's documentation for more information about possible values.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that specifies the new file information. The BufferLength and ValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of Buffer and the length of the data it contains, respectively, in bytes; ValidBytes may be less than BufferLength. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The format of the data is determined by the specified FileInformationClass; please refer to the NtSetInformationFile function's documentation for more information.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively.

Remarks

This event fires before the OS creates or updates a reparse point on a file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_SET_REPARSE_POINT flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The ReparseTag is the reparse tag, which is the value the system uses to identify the format of the reparse point data. This value is also present in the ReparseBuffer data; for convenience, the struct extracts it and provides it separately. If the event handler needs to change the reparse tag, it may do so in ReparseBuffer.

The ReparseBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that specifies the new reparse point information. The buffer referenced by the ReparseBuffer parameter may be modified when needed if the request is to be passed further to other filters and the filesystem driver. The DataLength parameter initially reflects the length of the data contained in the buffer, in bytes. If the event handler updates the data in the ReparseBuffer, it should adjust DataLength to the size of the new data, placed to the buffer. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBeforeWriteFileHandler() CBFilterBeforeWriteFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBeforeWriteFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBeforeWriteFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires before data are written to the file specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications may use this event to modify the request's parameters or data. Applications that choose to modify the request's data must do the following:

1. Enable the ModifiableReadWriteBuffers configuration setting (i.e., before this event fires).
2. Copy no more than BufferLength bytes into Buffer.
3. Update the BytesToWrite parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data in Buffer.

Applications may also use this event to block the request entirely by returning an appropriate error code (e.g., ACCESS_DENIED) via ResultCode.

Alternatively, applications may use this event to handle the underlying request, in which case they must do the following:

1. Write the data pointed to by Buffer to the desired location (after preprocessing it, if necessary).
2. Update the BytesToWrite parameter's value afterward so that it correctly reflects the amount of data that were written.
3. Set ProcessRequest to false to indicate that the request has been handled and should not continue onward.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_BEFORE_WRITE flag.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

The Position parameter specifies the byte offset in the file at which writing should start. A value of -1 means "append to the end of the file".

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data to write to the file. The BufferLength parameter reflects the capacity of Buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The BytesToWrite parameter's initial value reflects how many bytes should be written to the file (i.e., how many bytes the requestor expects will be written). This parameter's value may be changed (for either of the reasons discussed above), but it must not exceed BufferLength.

Note: However, writing more or less data than requested is not expected behavior and likely will cause the requestor to misbehave. Applications that change BytesToWrite, for any reason, should use the AfterWriteFile event to "cover up" such behavior; please refer to its documentation for more information.

The Direction parameter indicates the request direction; please refer to the Cached and Non-Cached Requests topic for more information. Possible values are as follows:

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information. (If the system's cache manager or memory manager initiated the operation, HandleContext may be absent, in which case it will be nil.)

The ProcessRequest parameter controls whether the request is sent onward for further processing by subsequent filter drivers and the filesystem; it is true by default.

When ProcessRequest to false (which means that the request was handled), the handler may additionally specify the status of the handling by setting the Status parameter to the required NT status code (this is not a Win32 error code!).

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

BypassIORequest Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when the OS sends one of BypassIO commands.

Syntax

// CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs carries the CBFilter BypassIORequest event's parameters.
type CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) RequestCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) FileContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) HandleContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) Status() int32
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) SetStatus(value int32)

func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) Reason() string
func (args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs) SetReason(value string)

// CBFilterBypassIORequestEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter BypassIORequest event's handler function.
type CBFilterBypassIORequestEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterBypassIORequestEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnBypassIORequestHandler() CBFilterBypassIORequestEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnBypassIORequestHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterBypassIORequestEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the OS sends a BypassIO request to a file specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

If BypassIO is enabled successfully future operations on the specified file handle will not be visible to the struct. To ensure all future operations on the file are visible to the struct BypassIO should not be enabled. BypassIO is present in Windows 11; it is not used in Windows 10 and earlier systems, and also is not used in Server systems.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the any of the following flags: FS_BYPASS_IO (it should be passed among notification flags), FS_CE_BEFORE_READ, FS_CE_AFTER_READ, FS_CE_BEFORE_WRITE, FS_CE_AFTER_WRITE.

The RequestCode parameter contains the code of the request. The code may be the one of the following:

When the request code is BPIO_OP_ENABLE, an application is able to block BypassIO by specifying a non-zero value for Status and a description of the reason in the Reason parameter. If the application does so, it should return the same status and reason in response to BPIO_OP_QUERY requests to let the caller know that enabling would not be possible. BPIO_OP_QUERY requests are used, in particular, by diagnostics tools. Other operations may not be denied, and when the event is fired for one of those other operations, the struct ignores the values returned in the Status and Reason parameters.

The Status value should be one of the NTStatus codes defined in Windows SDK (Windows 11 SDK defines a group of STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_WITH_* constants for this).

The Reason should be set to a human-readable text that explains why BypassIO was blocked.

The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

CleanupContext Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when the application-defined data stored in one or more contexts need to be cleaned up.

Syntax

// CBFilterCleanupContextEventArgs carries the CBFilter CleanupContext event's parameters.
type CBFilterCleanupContextEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterCleanupContextEventArgs) FileContext() int64
func (args *CBFilterCleanupContextEventArgs) HandleContext() int64

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnCleanupContextHandler() CBFilterCleanupContextEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnCleanupContextHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterCleanupContextEvent)

Remarks

This event fires after a file or directory is closed, just before any contexts related to it are discarded, giving applications a chance to clean up any information stored in them.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The FileContext and HandleContext parameters are placeholders for application-defined data associated with the file and specific handle, respectively. Please refer to the Contexts topic for more information.

When a handle to some file or directory is closed, this event will fire if the HandleContext associated with that handle is not nil. When the last handle to the file or directory is closed, this event will fire if the HandleContext associated with that handle or the FileContext associated with that file or directory is not nil. After this event fires, the applicable contexts are set back to nil automatically.

Applications that need to know the name of the file or directory this event is firing for should store a copy of that name in the context during an earlier event.

This event is optional; it will fire regardless of whether any filter rules are present, but only if FileContext, HandleContext, or both, are not already nil. Applications that clean up their contexts (and set them back to nil) when a file is being closed, or earlier, do not need to handle this event.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Error Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires if an unhandled error occurs during an event.

Syntax

type CBFilterErrorEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterErrorEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnErrorHandler() CBFilterErrorEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnErrorHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterErrorEvent)

Remarks

This event fires if an unhandled error occurs during another event. Developers can use this information to track down unhandled errors in an application's event handlers.

Note: Not everything is possible or allowed in the event handlers. For details, see the Recursive Calls topic.

FilterStart Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires once the filter has attached and filtering has started.

Syntax

// CBFilterFilterStartEventArgs carries the CBFilter FilterStart event's parameters.
type CBFilterFilterStartEventArgs struct {...}

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnFilterStartHandler() CBFilterFilterStartEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnFilterStartHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterFilterStartEvent)

Remarks

This event fires once the filter has attached and filtering has started; please refer to the StartFilter method for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnFilterStopHandler() CBFilterFilterStopEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnFilterStopHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterFilterStopEvent)

Remarks

This event fires once filtering has stopped and the filter has detached.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyCanFileBeDeleted Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when the OS marks a file or directory for deletion or removes such a mark.

Syntax

// CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs carries the CBFilter NotifyCanFileBeDeleted event's parameters.
type CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEventArgs) RequestType() int32

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyCanFileBeDeletedHandler() CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyCanFileBeDeletedHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyCanFileBeDeletedEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the OS marks the file or directory specified by FileName for deletion or removes such a mark. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Files and directories can be deleted in two ways: (1) a file or directory can be opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, or (2) some process may call Windows API's NtSetInformationFile function with FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION or FILE_DISPOSITION_INFORMATION_EX structure as a parameter.

If the file or directory is created or opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, this event is fired shortly after the NotifyCreateFile or NotifyOpenFile event.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_CAN_DELETE flag.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

The CanDelete parameter reflects whether or not the file or directory can be deleted.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyCleanupFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when a file or directory handle has been closed.

Syntax

// CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter NotifyCleanupFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter NotifyCleanupFile event's handler function.
type CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyCleanupFileHandler() CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyCleanupFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyCleanupFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when a handle to the file or directory specified by FileName has been closed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This event differs from NotifyCloseFile in that NotifyCleanupFile fires when an open handle to the specified file or directory is closed by a process, whereas NotifyCloseFile may be fired much later when the OS itself decides that the file or directory can be formally closed.

Other events may fire for the file or directory in the time between when this event fires and when the NotifyCloseFile event fires. For example, system components, such as the memory manager or cache manager, may cause the NotifyReadFile and NotifyWriteFile events to fire.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_CLEANUP flag.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyCloseFile Event (CBFilter Component)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyCloseFileHandler() CBFilterNotifyCloseFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyCloseFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyCloseFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the file or directory specified by FileName has been closed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_CLOSE flag.

If the file or directory was marked for deletion earlier, the NotifyDeleteFile will fire shortly before this event.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyCreateFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when a file or directory has been created.

Syntax

type CBFilterNotifyCreateFileEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterNotifyCreateFileEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyCreateFileHandler() CBFilterNotifyCreateFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyCreateFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyCreateFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the file or directory specified by FileName has been created. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or NotifyOpenFile.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_CREATE flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory creation requests.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

The DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to the native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request was for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present if it was specified by the calling process or if the existing filesystem entry is a directory.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE; Note: Because files can be deleted in different ways, do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the NotifyCanFileBeDeleted event will fire after this event.

If the file is created with extended attributes passed in the request, the NotifySetEa event will fire after this event.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The CreationStatus parameter indicates whether the file was created or opened and can be one of the following values:

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyCreateHardLink Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when a hard link has been created.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyDeleteFileHandler() CBFilterNotifyDeleteFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyDeleteFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyDeleteFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the file or directory specified by FileName has been deleted. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. More specifically, this event is queued for delivery after the final IRP_MJ_CLOSE I/O request packet (IRP) has been processed by the filesystem (i.e., after the last handle to the file or directory is closed and the file or directory is gone) and before NotifyCloseFile is queued.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_DELETE flag.

The RequestType indicates which kind of system request resulted in firing this event. It can be one of the following:

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyDeleteReparsePoint Event (CBFilter Component)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyEnumerateDirectoryHandler() CBFilterNotifyEnumerateDirectoryEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyEnumerateDirectoryHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyEnumerateDirectoryEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when a directory entry (i.e., file or subdirectory) has been returned during enumeration of the directory specified by DirectoryName. For more information about the DirectoryName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_ENUMERATE_DIRECTORY flag.

The Flags parameter specifies supplementary information about enumeration. It is a combination of zero or more values:

If the Flags parameter contains FS_ENUM_INDEX_SPECIFIED, the Index parameter contains the index as provided by the OS.

The FileName parameter reflects the name of the directory entry.

The CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, and ChangeTime parameters reflect the entry's time values, specified in UTC.

The Size parameter reflects the size of the file, in bytes; it is always 0 for subdirectories.

The AllocationSize parameter reflects the amount of space allocated for the file, in bytes; it is always 0 for subdirectories.

The FileId parameter reflects the unique Id of the entry, as reported by the filesystem. This Id is used by the network redirector, and some third-party applications, to open files and directories by Id instead of by name. The root directory always uses the predefined Id 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

The Attributes parameter reflects the entry's attributes; please refer to Microsoft's File Attribute Constants article for attribute descriptions.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyFilterAttachToVolumeHandler() CBFilterNotifyFilterAttachToVolumeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyFilterAttachToVolumeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyFilterAttachToVolumeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the filter has been attached to the newly mounted filesystem volume specified by VolumeNameNT and, when possible, VolumeName. Please refer to the FireVolumeEvents property for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if the FireVolumeEvents property includes the FS_MOUNT_NOTIFY flag.

Note: This event won't fire for any volumes skipped during the BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event; please refer to its documentation for more information.

VolumeNameNT contains the name of the volume in the NT-native format, as received from the system. If the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is enabled, and if it was possible to convert the NT name to the DOS format with a drive letter, VolumeName will contain the name in this format; otherwise, it will be empty.

Applications that use volume-specific rules should typically add such rules during the AfterFilterAttachToVolume event, which is fired synchronously, rather than this one.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

Applications must be aware that this event fires as a direct response to a filesystem state change (mount or unmount). Various system components or third-party actors can perform supplementary filesystem mounting and unmounting during main unmount operations (e.g., Volume Service is one such component). This can cause seemingly excessive events to be fired, and sometimes they can be fired out of order (such as two *Attach or *Detach events fired in a row).

NotifyFilterDetachFromVolume Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when the filter has been detached from a filesystem volume.

Syntax

// CBFilterNotifyFilterDetachFromVolumeEventArgs carries the CBFilter NotifyFilterDetachFromVolume event's parameters.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyFilterDetachFromVolumeHandler() CBFilterNotifyFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyFilterDetachFromVolumeHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyFilterDetachFromVolumeEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the filter has been detached from the filesystem volume specified by VolumeNameNT and, when possible, VolumeName, typically as a result of the volume being unmounted. Please refer to the FireVolumeEvents property for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if the FireVolumeEvents property includes the FS_MOUNT_NOTIFY flag.

Note: This event won't fire for any volumes skipped during the BeforeFilterAttachToVolume event; please refer to its documentation for more information.

VolumeNameNT contains the name of the volume in the NT-native format, as received from the system. If the ResolveNtDeviceToDriveLetter configuration setting is enabled, and if it was possible to convert the NT name to the DOS format with a drive letter, VolumeName will contain the name in this format; otherwise, it will be empty.

Applications that use volume-specific rules typically should remove such rules during the AfterFilterDetachFromVolume event, which is fired synchronously, rather than this one.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyFsctlHandler() CBFilterNotifyFsctlEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyFsctlHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyFsctlEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when an IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL (FSCTL) operation has occurred. Such requests are sent using the Windows API's DeviceIoControl function (user mode), or ZwFsControlFile function (kernel mode); please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_FSCTL flag.

The FileName parameter reflects the file, directory, or volume targeted by the request.

The FsControlCode parameter reflects the requested filesystem control code (FSCTL).

The InBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. The InBufferLength and InBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of InBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; InBufferValidBytes may be less than InBufferLength (unless the request did not include data, in which case both will be 0).

The OutBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the data returned by the operation. The OutBufferLength and OutBufferValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of OutBuffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; OutBufferValidBytes may be less than OutBufferLength (unless the operation did not return data, in which case both will be 0).

Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyGetFileSecurityHandler() CBFilterNotifyGetFileSecurityEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyGetFileSecurityHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyGetFileSecurityEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when security attributes have been retrieved for the file or directory specified by FileName. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Note: This event will not fire every time a file or directory is accessed. To check file security upon each access to a file or directory, implement the file create and open events and perform the necessary checks there instead.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_GET_SECURITY flag.

The SecurityInformation parameter indicates which pieces of security information were requested. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data-type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the requested security information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyLockHandler() CBFilterNotifyLockEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyLockHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyLockEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when a range of bytes in the file specified by FileName has been locked. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This request is made either by the OS, or on behalf of a user mode application that called the Windows API's LockFile or LockFileEx function.

NotifyOpenFile Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when a file or directory has been opened.

Syntax

// CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs carries the CBFilter NotifyOpenFile event's parameters.
type CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs) ExistingAttributes() int32
func (args *CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs) DesiredAccess() int32
func (args *CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEventArgs) Attributes() int32

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnNotifyOpenFileHandler() CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifyOpenFileHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifyOpenFileEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when the file or directory specified by FileName has been opened. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. Please refer to the File Create/Open Events topic for more information about how the struct determines whether to fire this event or NotifyCreateFile.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_OPEN flag.

Note: Applications must have the FilterOwnRequests configuration setting enabled if they wish to filter their own file/directory open requests.

When extended rules are used or the AlwaysRequestAttributesOnOpen configuration setting is enabled, the driver requests attributes of the entity from the filesystem and passes them to ExistingAttributes. If the attributes are not requested, this parameter contains 0.

The DesiredAccess, Attributes, ShareMode, and CreateDisposition parameters reflect the values that were passed for the similarly named parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (or, more accurately, the values carried by the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP).

DesiredAccess may contain one or more of the following access flags:

Attributes may contain one or more of the following attributes:

ShareMode may contain zero or more of the following share mode flags:

CreateDisposition may contain one of the following values:

Options contains the flags that are described in the CreateOptions parameter of the native API's ZwCreateFile function. Most of those flags correspond to flags passed in the FlagsAndAttributes parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function, but some flags are specific to the native API. If you need those flags, check both functions' descriptions.

Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for detailed information about these constants.

To determine whether the request was for a file or a directory, compare Attributes against the FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY constant, as follows: // Check whether the request is for a file or a directory. bool isDirectory = Attributes & FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY == FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY; FILE_SYS_ATTR_DIRECTORY will be present if it was specified by the calling process or if the existing filesystem entry is a directory.

To determine whether a file will be deleted when its last handle is closed, compare Options against the Windows API's FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE constant, as follows: // Check whether the file will be deleted on close. bool deleteOnClose = Options & FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE == FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE; Note: Because files can be deleted in different ways, do not use this check to take actions related to tracking file deletion operations. Instead, use the events related to file deletion.

When a file or directory is created using the CreateFile() Windows API function, a caller can specify the security descriptor with the security information. This security information should be applied to a newly created file or directory. The struct passes this security information in the SecurityInformation and SecurityDescriptor parameters, when the PassSecurityInFileOpenEvents configuration setting is enabled. If this configuration setting is omitted, the corresponding parameters are empty.

The SecurityInformation parameter reflects which pieces of security information, of those present in SecurityDescriptor, are valid and should have been applied. Please refer to Microsoft's SECURITY_INFORMATION data type documentation for more information about possible values.

The SecurityDescriptor parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the security information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted as a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure in self-relative format; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If the Options contains the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag, the NotifyCanFileBeDeleted event will fire after this event.

If the file is opened with extended attributes passed in the request, the NotifySetEa event will fire after this event.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The CreationStatus parameter indicates whether the file was created or opened and can be one of the following values:

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

NotifyQueryEa Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires when information about the extended attributes of a file has been retrieved.

Remarks

This event fires when information about the extended attributes of a file specified by FileName has been retrieved. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_QUERY_EA flag.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the requested information. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The Length parameter reflects the length of this buffer, in bytes. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

ReturnSingleEntry specifies that the filesystem had to return only the first entry it has found.

EaList is an optional parameter that points to a caller-supplied memory buffer specifying the extended attributes to be queried. The data in the buffer are formatted as a FILE_GET_EA_INFORMATION structure; please refer to the Microsoft's documentation for more information. The EaListLength parameter reflects the length of this data, in bytes. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, it will contain 0.

EaIndex is an optional parameter that specifies the starting index of the attribute, information about which was requested. This parameter is ignored by the filesystem if EaList points to a nonempty list. If the caller of the FltQueryEaFile function did not specify any value, the parameter will contain -1.

The RestartScan parameter instructs the filesystem to restart enumeration of extended attributes from the first entry. If the parameter is false, retrieval of the extended attributes is resumed by the filesystem after a previous request.

LengthReturned is an optional parameter that contains the size, in bytes, of the information, returned in the Buffer.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnNotifySetFileInfoHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterNotifySetFileInfoEvent)

Remarks

This event fires when information about a file or directory specified by FileName has been changed. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic. This event typically fires in response to the Windows API's NtSetInformationFile function.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_NE_QUERY_FILE_INFO flag.

The FileInformationClass parameter indicates what kind of file information was set. Please refer to the NtSetInformationFile function's documentation for more information about possible values.

The Buffer parameter points to a memory buffer that, if the request was successful, contains the new file information. The BufferLength and ValidBytes parameters reflect the capacity of Buffer and the length of the data it contains (respectively), in bytes; ValidBytes may be less than BufferLength. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The format of the data is determined by the specified FileInformationClass; please refer to the NtSetInformationFile function's documentation for more information.

The Status parameter contains an NT status code that indicates the outcome of the operation; 0 indicates success. To convert this value to a Win32 error code, call the NtStatusToWin32Error method.

Note: This event will not fire for failed requests unless the ProcessFailedRequests property is enabled.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason, set it to a non-zero value to report an appropriate error.

Note: This event fires after the operation has already completed, so reporting an error will not actually affect the operation itself. Please refer to the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired asynchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnReparseFileNameHandler() CBFilterReparseFileNameEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnReparseFileNameHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterReparseFileNameEvent)

Remarks

Applications can use this event to dynamically redirect access to the file or directory specified by FileName to another location. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

The event fires before a file or directory is created or opened (before the corresponding BeforeCreateFile or BeforeOpenFile events fire).

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_REPARSE_FILENAME flag.

The DesiredAccess parameter reflects the value that was passed for the similarly named parameter of the Windows API's CreateFile function. Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

The ReparsedFileName parameter reflects the default redirection destination. If the specified file or directory matches an existing reparse rule, this parameter's value is generated based on said rule; otherwise, this parameter will reflect the same value as FileName.

The NewFileName parameter specifies an application-defined redirection destination. This parameter's value, if set, must be less than 1024 characters in length.

If the application sets NewFileName to a nonempty value, it will be used as the redirection destination. Otherwise, the value reflected by ReparseFileName will be used as the redirection destination.

The EventContext parameter makes it possible to pass information between Before* and After* events that are related to the same OS request. The value assigned to EventContext by the event handler will reach BeforeCreateFile/BeforeOpenFile events and other events involved in the opening of the file.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.

ReparseWithTag Event (CBFilter Component)

This event fires if an open operation returns STATUS_REPARSE so that the application can respond to the reparse point.

Syntax

// CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs carries the CBFilter ReparseWithTag event's parameters.
type CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs struct {...}

func (args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs) FileName() string
func (args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs) NewFileName() string

func (args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs) SetReissueIO(value bool)

func (args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs) ResultCode() int32
func (args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs) SetResultCode(value int32)

// CBFilterReparseWithTagEvent defines the signature of the CBFilter ReparseWithTag event's handler function.
type CBFilterReparseWithTagEvent func(sender *CBFilter, args *CBFilterReparseWithTagEventArgs)

func (obj *CBFilter) GetOnReparseWithTagHandler() CBFilterReparseWithTagEvent
func (obj *CBFilter) SetOnReparseWithTagHandler(handlerFunc CBFilterReparseWithTagEvent)

Remarks

This event fires if a STATUS_REPARSE result is returned when the OS attempts to open the file or directory specified by FileName, which indicates that a reparse point is associated with said file or directory or one of its parents. More specifically, it fires immediately after the open operation returns such a result. For more information about the FileName parameter and what it may contain, please refer to the Filenames In Events topic.

It is possible for applications to add reparse points to specific files/directories so that the filesystem will return STATUS_REPARSE when someone attempts to open them. Such applications can then use this event to perform some operation on the file/directory, assuming that the specified ReparseTag belongs to the application. Please refer to Microsoft's Reparse Point articles for more information.

Applications need to handle this event only if they have added a standard filter rule that includes the FS_CE_REPARSE_TAG flag.

If the reparse tag was recognized by the filesystem or some filesystem filter, NewFileName can contain the new path, to which the request should be sent.

The ReparseTag parameter reflects the reparse point's tag, which is the value the system uses to identify the format of the reparse point data. This value is also present in the ReparseBuffer data; the struct extracts it and provides it separately for convenience.

The ReparseBuffer parameter points to a memory buffer that contains the full reparse point data. The ReparseBufferLength parameter reflects the length of ReparseBuffer. Please see the Buffer Parameters topic for more information on how to work with memory buffer event parameters.

The data are formatted using either a REPARSE_GUID_DATA_BUFFER structure or (for certain Microsoft-reserved tags) a REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER structure; please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information.

If the part of the path contained in FileName constitutes a symbolic link or a junction point (both of which are handled by the filesystem), the structure in ReparseBuffer will contain the new path that is to replace a part of the original path. In such a case, the Reserved field of the REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER structure will contain the length in bytes in the original file name buffer that remains unchanged. This value, divided by 2, is the number of characters at the end of FileName that you must append to the new path, contained in ReparseBuffer.

ReissueIO can be set to true to instruct the OS to resend the original request again from the beginning. This may be necessary if the reparse tag is removed from the file or altered during this event.

Please refer to the Reparse Points topic for more information.

The ResultCode parameter will always be 0 when the event is fired. If the event cannot be handled in a "successful" manner for some reason (e.g., a resource is not available or security checks failed), set it to a nonzero value to report an appropriate error. Please see the Error Handling topic for more information.

This event is fired synchronously; please refer to the Event Types topic for more information.
