VixMntapi_GetVolumeInfo()

Retrieves information about a disk volume. Some information, such as the number of mount points, requires you to set the open read-only flag. Some information is available only if a volume was previously mounted by VixMntapi_MountVolume(). The Windows registry returns volume information only for mounted disks. On Windows the VixMntapi_GetVolumeInfo() call returns a symbolic link from the VixVolumeInfo structure in the form \\.\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-<longhexnum>\. You can transform this symbolic link into a target path by replacing \\. with \Device and deleting the final backslash, then map a drive letter with DefineDosDevice(DDD_RAW_TARGET_PATH,...) and proceed as if you have a local drive. Alternatively on Windows, you can open a volume with CreateFile() and traverse the file system with FindFirstFile().
