OpenVolumeAsStream Method

Opens a volume as a stream.

Syntax

func (obj *CBDirect) OpenVolumeAsStream(VolumeName string, DesiredAccess int32, ForceUnmount bool) (*CBFSDirectStream, error)

Remarks

This method should be used instead of the Windows API's CreateFile function to open the volume specified by VolumeName when an application needs to access it directly, bypassing the system's access control mechanisms.

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

The VolumeName and DesiredAccess parameters correspond to the lpFileName and dwDesiredAccess parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (respectively). The value passed for VolumeName may be in WinAPI or NT-native format. Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information on how to set these parameters appropriately.
