Setting a user mode visible event from kernel mode driver

NTDEV

Hi all,

If we create a kevent in kernel mode (from inside a network driver), will it
be visible to user mode apps.
If not what is the best way to allow this to happen.

We are arming to use this event flag to say data available at network card,
we then do devioctl call to collect it and send it to our user mode app.

thanks

Yes. Just create the named event in the object manager’s BaseNamedObjects
directory.
