I assume the function RtlGenerate8dot3Name generates a short filename from a
long one but what is the argument Context for?

>NTAPI
>RtlGenerate8dot3Name (

> IN BOOLEAN AllowExtendedCharacters,

the name is UNIQUE. If it isn't the caller may call again; the context
value essentially tells this routine how to generate the NEXT possible 8.3
name for the given file.
