It is primary (but not the best) solution to communicate between application and Device Driver. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------FileHandle HANDLE to Device Object opened as a file. Event Optional HANDLE to Event Object signalled on the end of processing request. ApcRoutine Optional pointer to user's APC Routine called on the end of processing request. ApcContext User's parameter to ApcRoutine. IoStatusBlock IO result of call. IoControlCode IO Control code [IOCTL_*]. InputBuffer User's allocated buffer with input data. InputBufferLength Length of InputBuffer, in bytes. OutputBuffer User's allocated buffer for result data. OutputBufferLength Length of OutputBuffer, in bytes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------See also NtFsControlFile.
