This function obtains the date and time that a file in an installable file system was created, last accessed, and last modified. The application does not call this function directly. Instead, it uses the corresponding standard Win32 function GetFileTime. The File System Disk Manager (FSDMGR) determines the file system type and calls the MyFSD_GetFileTime implementation of the function.

Syntax

BOOL MyFSD_GetFileTime( 
  PFILE pFile, 
  FILETIME* pCreation, 
  FILETIME* pLastAccess, 
  FILETIME* pLastWrite
); 

Parameters

• pFile
  [in] Pointer to the value that a file system driver (FSD) passes to the FSDMGR_CreateFileHandle function when creating the file handle.

• pCreation
  [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure to receive the date and time at which the file was created. This parameter can be set to NULL if the application does not require this information.

• pLastAccess
  [out] Pointer to a FILETIME structure to receive the date and time at which the file was last accessed. The last access time includes the last time the file was written to, read from, or, in the case of executable files, run. This parameter can be set to NULL if the application does not require this information.

• pLastWrite
  [out] Pointer to a FILETIME structure to receive the date and time at which the file was last written to. This parameter can be set to NULL if the application does not require this information.

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

An FSD exports this function if it supports the GetFileTime function. All FSD functions can be called on re-entry. Therefore, take this into account when developing an FSD.

FSDMGR is a DLL that manages all OS interaction with installable files systems. Each installable file system requires an FSD, which is a DLL that supports an installable file system. The name of the DLL for an FSD and the names of the functions it exports start with the name of the associated installable file system. For example, if the name of file system is MyFSD, its DLL is MyFSD.dll, and its exported functions are prefaced with MyFSD_*.

FSDMGR provides service functions to FSDs. The FSDMGR_RegisterVolume, the FSDMGR_CreateFileHandle, and the FSDMGR_CreateSearchHandle functions record a DWORD of volume-specific data that an FSD associates with a volume. This volume-specific data is passed as the first parameter of these three functions.

Applications that access an installable file system use standard Win32 functions. For example, when an application creates a folder on a device that contains an installable file system, it calls the CreateDirectory function. FSDMGR recognizes that the path is to a device containing an installable file system and calls the appropriate function, which in the case of the MyFSD file system is MyFSD_CreateDirectoryW. That is, the application calls CreateDirectory, causing FSDMGR to call **MyFSD_CreateDirectoryW.
