Using symboliclinknames in Win2K

NTDEV
1

Hello,

In my Win2K Driver, I want to be able to do (the equivalent of the
following in Unix):

type > /dev/MyDevice

and

cat /dev/MyDevice

I have created SymbolicLinkNames for my devices (hypothetical in this case)
in my Win2K driver. But when I try to do the above, a new file is created
instead of the data going to my device.

Now how can I achieve the above ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Puja

Did you use:

Type somefile.txt | \.\MyDriver <\.\MyDriver>
