Creating a Mounted Folder

The following sample demonstrates how to create a mounted folder. For more information, see Creating Mounted Folders.

This sample uses the following functions: GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint and SetVolumeMountPoint.

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501

#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define BUFSIZE MAX_PATH 

int _tmain( int argc, TCHAR *argv[] )
{
 BOOL bFlag;
 TCHAR Buf[BUFSIZE]; // temporary buffer for volume name

 if( argc != 3 ) 
 {
 _tprintf( TEXT("Usage: %s <mount_point> <volume>\n"), argv[0] );
 _tprintf( TEXT("For example, \"%s c:\\mnt\\fdrive\\ f:\\\"\n"), argv[0]);
 return( -1 );
 }

 // We should do some error checking on the inputs. Make sure there 
 // are colons and backslashes in the right places, and so on 

 bFlag = GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint(
 argv[2], // input volume mount point or directory
 Buf, // output volume name buffer
 BUFSIZE // size of volume name buffer
 );

 if (bFlag != TRUE) 
 {
 _tprintf( TEXT("Retrieving volume name for %s failed.\n"), argv[2] );
 return (-2);
 }

 _tprintf( TEXT("Volume name of %s is %s\n"), argv[2], Buf );
 bFlag = SetVolumeMountPoint(
 argv[1], // mount point
 Buf // volume to be mounted
 );

 if (!bFlag)
 _tprintf (TEXT("Attempt to mount %s at %s failed.\n"), argv[2], argv[1]);

 return (bFlag);
}
