UncompressEx method of the CIM_DeviceFile class
The UncompressEx method uncompresses the logical device file (or directory) specified in the object path. This method is an extended version of the Uncompress method. This method is inherited from CIM_LogicalFile.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 UncompressEx(
[out] string REF StopFileName,
[in] string StartFileName,
[in] boolean Recursive
);
Parameters
-
StopFileName [out]
-
String that represent the name of the file (or directory) where the method failed. This parameter is null if the method succeeds.
-
StartFileName [in]
-
String that represents the child file (or directory) to use as a starting point for the method. Typically, the StartFileName parameter is the StopFileName parameter specifying the file or directory at which an error occurred from the previous method call. If this parameter is NULL, the operation is performed on the file or directory specified in the ExecMethod call.
-
Recursive [in]
-
If TRUE, this method is also applied recursively to files and directories within the directory specified by the CIM_DeviceFile instance. For file instances, this parameter is ignored.
Return value
Returns a value of 0 on success, and any other number to indicate an error.
-
0
Success.
-
2
Access denied.
-
8
Unspecified failure.
-
9
Invalid object.
-
10
Object already exists.
-
11
File system not NTFS.
-
12
Platform not Windows.
-
13
Drive not the same.
-
14
Directory not empty.
-
15
Sharing violation.
-
16
Invalid start file.
-
17
Privilege not held.
-
21
Invalid parameter.
Remarks
This method is currently not implemented by WMI. To use this method, you must implement it in your own provider.
