For example, the NT DDK includes source for a "packet driver" which allows a user to connect to a NT protocol driver directly from user space. The included application does this by issueing a call to CreateFile with the unicode device name "\\.\Packet_Packet_". Is it possible to perform this same function using the GNU library? If so, I presume I would perform an "open" instead of the "CreateFile"? If so, what device name do I use? I've tried open("\\\\.\\Packet_Packet_".. but that didn't work. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a bit stumped here. Thanks very much, Pete - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
