There’s no API to do that, but look at
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?id=87 The download for that article
includes “kfc.c”, which is “kernel file copy” that shows how it’s done
inside a driver, as well as a command-line utility to test it.

HTH,

to paraphrase jamey’s message:

why would you put this functionality into a device driver? These are
running as part of the operating system core - adding unnecessary
complexity just increases the chances that you’ll crash someones’s
machine. Copying a text file seems like something best left to a
user-mode service that goes along with your driver (at least to me -
perhaps if you explain what you’re doing better the “need” will become
clear)
