This I/O control message deletes a set of sector ranges from the storage media in a single operation. Multiple sector ranges that are not contiguous are able to be specified in a single request. Send this message with DeviceIoControl.

Syntax

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
    HANDLE hDevice,           // handle to the device
    DWORD dwIoControlCode,    // use IOCTL_FLASH_DELETE_LOGICAL_SECTORS
    LPVOID lpInBuffer,        // pointer to input buffer
    DWORD nInBufferSize,      // input buffer size
    LPVOID lpOutBuffer,       // pointer to output buffer
    DWORD nOutBufferSize,     // output buffer size
    LPDWORD lpBytesReturned,  // number of bytes returned
    OVERLAPPED lpOverlapped,  // pointer to OVERLAPPED structure
);

Parameters

  • hDevice
    [in] Handle to the device.
  • dwIoControlCode
    [in] The control code for the operation. Use IOCTL_FLASH_DELETE_LOGICAL_SECTORS for this operation.
  • nInBufferSize
    [in] Size of the FLASH_SECTOR_DELETE structure plus the size of the SECTOR_RUN structure for each SECTOR_RUN structure in the sector deletion list beyond the first.
  • lpOutBuffer
    Not used; set to NULL.
  • nOutBufferSize
    Not used; set to zero.
  • lpBytesReturned
    Not used; set to NULL.
