From: mef@cs.washington.edu (Marc Fiuczynski) Subject: what is equivalent to CreateFile, DeviceIoControl, CloseHandle??? 25 Jan 1998 00:09:26 -0800 Message-ID: <4B511FF1DEF7D0119A6400A0C9499E0211DA0E.cygnus.gnu-win32@rpcsrv3.cs.washington.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" Hi, I need to do the equivalent of the CreateFile, DeviceIoControl, and CloseHandle calls that are defined in MSVC kernel32.lib. What I am trying to do is open up a device, do an ioctl operation to it, and then later close that device again. So I suppose there are two questions: * does the cygwin dll have similar operations that I can use to do the CreateFile, DeviceIoControl, and CloseHandle? * how can one link with MSVC's kernel32.lib so I can just call these routines directly?
