To get extended error information, call GetLastError. If the buffer is too small, the function fails and the last error code is ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.

Indicates the format of a path passed to a method.

At some point in code you know the full path of file system objects, e.g.: "C:\Windows". For example, Directory.EnumerateFileSystemEntries() will return all files and directories from a given path. Most likely, some processing will happen on the results of the enum. The file or directory may be passed on to another function. Whenever a file path is required, some performance can be gained. A path like: "C:\Windows" or "\\server\share" is considered a full path for a directory because it is rooted and has a drive/unc path. If the method supports it, and will skip GetFullPath() calls for path resolving of the object, while also avoiding path validation and checks. Using (default) will always call GetFullPath() and perform path validation and checks. When working in a loop with thousands of files, will give the best performance.

The format of the path is automatically detected by the method and internally converted to an extended length path. It can be either a standard (short) full path, an extended length (unicode) full path or a relative path. Example relative path: "Windows".

The path is a full path in either normal or extended length (UNICODE) format. Internally it will be converted to an extended length (UNICODE) path. Using this option has a very slight performance advantage compared to using . Example full path: "C:\Windows" or "\\server\share".

The path is an extended length path. No additional processing will be done on the path, and it will be used as is. Using this option has a slight performance advantage compared to using . Example long full path: "\\?\C:\Windows" or "\\?\UNC\server\share".

[AlphaFS] (Transacted) Opens a on the specified path using the specified creation mode, read/write and sharing permission, and buffer size.

The transaction. The file to open. A constant that determines how to open or create the file. A value that specifies the operations that can be performed on the file. A constant that determines how the file will be shared by processes. A positive value greater than 0 indicating the buffer size. The default buffer size is 4096. Specifies whether to use asynchronous I/O or synchronous I/O. However, note that the underlying operating system might not support asynchronous I/O, so when specifying true, the handle might be opened synchronously depending on the platform. When opened asynchronously, the BeginRead and BeginWrite methods perform better on large reads or writes, but they might be much slower for small reads or writes. If the application is designed to take advantage of asynchronous I/O, set the useAsync parameter to true. Using asynchronous I/O correctly can speed up applications by as much as a factor of 10, but using it without redesigning the application for asynchronous I/O can decrease performance by as much as a factor of 10.
