All format in UNC in the filter

in App,we all know the UNC format:
Z:\Share\1.txt
\192.168.3.1\Share\1.txt
\my-T43\Share\1.txt

And in my filter,I observed the UNC format:
;Z:0\192.168.3.1\Share\1.txt
;Z:0\my-T43\Share\1.txt
\192.168.3.1\Share\1.txt
\my-T43\Share\1.txt
0:\192.168.3.1\Share\1.txt

So,anyone can tell me all the formats of the UNC in the filter?
Thanks for your help~~~

To me it looks like you mix drive letter connections with UNC. The
format “;<server><share><path>” is the
connected drive letter state - the redirector stores state information
(like the prefix size) so that it “knows” where the path portion starts.

The other format “<server><share><path>” looks like a UNC name to me
(I could prepend “??\UNC” to it and it would work.) I’ve not see the
last format - it doesn’t look like an absolute path to me, but rather a
relative path. It’s always possible that’s an invalid path name or for
a UNC provider I’ve never seen before.

If you want all the possible formats for names in a file system, you’ll
find that the list is rather long - and changes over time, and per file
system. I certainly don’t have an exhaustive list, nor have I ever seen
one.

Thanks ,tony~~
Assume that:
the IP of my computer is 192.168.5.186,
the name of my computer is T43.
and I map \192.168.5.186\Share is Z:

then,if you createfile:
\192.168.5.186\Share\1.txt
\T43\Share\1.txt
Z:\1.txt

I can see the format in my filter:
0:\192.168.5.186\Share\1.txt

can you explain it?thanks for your help.
