Communicating b/w app and filter driver using Completion ports?

NTFSD
1

Hi!
I wanted to know how can i use the IO completion ports to transfer information between my application and minifilter?
Is the use of IO completion ports better than the use of communication ports?
And if i am developing legacy filter, is IO completion port better than IOCTL to transfer data between filter and app?

Actually the data has to be sent from filter to Application…

Thanks,
Tushar A.

The Scanner example included in the IFS Kit uses IOCPs - have a look at
this.
