How to delete a file?

NTDEV
1

Hi,
There was ZwSetInformationFile() in NT DDK declared in ntddk.h. I can’t find
this function in DDK of Win2K (wdm.h) even though it still appears in the
documentation.
Actual I just want to an API to delete a file from my driver. How can it be
done in Win2k?
thx
Roman.

Prehaps setting your ZwCreateFile() CreateOptions to FILE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE
will help?
This will automatically delete the file when the last handle to it is is
passed to ZwClose.

Hope this helps,

Christine

Is ZwDeleteFile() defined yet? It’s in my Nebbett (Native API) reference.

ZwDeleteFile() is not defined in my copy of the Win2K DDK.
The ZwXxx Routines section is dated Wednesday, June 28, 2000.
