Object naming question for shared section

NTFSD
1

I’m trying to create a named section in my driver so that I can use OpenFileMapping in my service to get access to it. Can anybody fill me in as to where I can create this? The paths I’ve tried are:

\DosDevices\SectionName (in the driver)
\.\SectionName (in the service)

and

\BaseNamedObjects\SectionName (driver)
\BaseNamedObjects\SectionName (service)

For both of these, when I try OpenFileMapping in the service, I get back NULL, and a last error of ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME. I can only assume I’ve screwed up the path I’m using in the service. WinObj shows that the object exists in both cases in the expected place. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

~Eric

what is the name you use in OpenFileMapping. It should be just: “SectionName”

Thank you, that was the issue. Now if only that was documented
anywhere…
