CfGetPlaceholderStateFromFileInfo function (cfapi.h)

Gets a set of placeholder states based on the various information of the file.

Syntax

CF_PLACEHOLDER_STATE CfGetPlaceholderStateFromFileInfo(
  [in] LPCVOID                   InfoBuffer,
  [in] FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS InfoClass
);

Parameters

[in] InfoBuffer

An info buffer about the file.

[in] InfoClass

A FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS class that helps the function interpret the data in InfoBuffer.

Return value

Can include CF_PLACEHOLDER_STATE; the placeholder state.

Remarks

The input is a buffer containing information returned by GetFileInformationByHandleEx, and the corresponding InfoClass so the API knows how to interpret the buffer.

Not all information classes supported by GetFileInformationByHandleEx are supported by this API. If the FileAttributes and ReparseTag can’t be extracted from a given information class, this API will return CF_PLACEHOLDER_STATE_INVALID and set last error properly.
