How does the driver export a GUID?

NTDEV

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how does the standard device driver export a GUID so that an application can make an IOCTL call to it?

Also if the group of drivers can be updated to export a new, single GUID that is the same between all the drivers?

Thank you.

First, the DDK has documentation and samples that show how to do this.
Second, read said documentation and look at said examples.

Define the GUID in a common header file used for building the SYS or EXE
files. Create an interface using that GUID in your AddDevice function.
