I’m still trying to understand what is going on with this flag during the
IRP_MJ_CREATE and I’m not quite getting it. In the IFS Kit docs, it says:
“The file being opened need not exist if the directory exists. This is used
to create a file object for a subsequent rename operation.”
I saw one of these come through and expected to see a filename (which I
would expect to trim off to get the directory being opened - the true target
of the open according to my understanding), but in the post-callback when I
grabbed the file name, it was a directory path. Now I suppose you could
call this with a directory, but I’m not sure now.
So my understand is (and please correct me):
When I see SL_OPEN_TARGET_DIRECTORY, I should get the path, and trim off the
last element (ie go back one backslash). The thing I’m trimming off might
be a directory or a file, but at least I know that what I’m left with after
the trim is a directory. Therefore, the true target of the IRP_MJ_CREATE is
the remaining directory path.
