IO Create Sym bolic Link
IoCreateSymbolicLink The IoCreateSymbolicLink routine sets up a symbolic link between a device object name and a user-visible name for the device. NTSTATUS IoCreateSymbolicLink( IN PUNICODE_STRING SymbolicLinkName, IN PUNICODE_STRING DeviceName ); Parameters SymbolicLinkName Pointer to a buffered Unicode string that is the user-visible name. DeviceName Pointer to a buffered Unicode string that is the name of the driver-created device object. Return Value IoCreateSymbolicLink returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the symbolic link object was created. Headers Declared in wdm.h and ntddk.h. Include wdm.h or ntddk.h. Comments WDM drivers do not name device objects and therefore should not use this routine. Instead, a WDM driver should call IoRegisterDeviceInterface to set up a symbolic link. For more information about when to use IoCreateSymbolicLink, see Named Device Objects.
