IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE IOCTL (winioctl.h)

Enables performance counters that provide disk performance information.

To perform this operation, call the DeviceIoControl function with the following parameters.

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
 (HANDLE) hDevice, // handle to device
 IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE, // dwIoControlCode
 NULL, // lpInBuffer
 0, // nInBufferSize
 (LPVOID) lpOutBuffer, // output buffer
 (DWORD) nOutBufferSize, // size of output buffer
 (LPDWORD) lpBytesReturned, // number of bytes returned
 (LPOVERLAPPED) lpOverlapped // OVERLAPPED structure
);

Remarks

To disable the performance counters enabled by this control code, use the IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE_OFF control code.
