FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS enumeration (minwinbase.h)

  • Article

Defines values that are used with the FindFirstFileEx function to specify the type of filtering to perform.

Syntax

typedef enum _FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS {
  FindExSearchNameMatch,
  FindExSearchLimitToDirectories,
  FindExSearchLimitToDevices,
  FindExSearchMaxSearchOp
} FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS;

Constants

 
FindExSearchNameMatch
The search for a file that matches a specified file name.


The lpSearchFilter parameter of
FindFirstFileEx must be
NULL when this search operation is used.
FindExSearchLimitToDirectories
This is an advisory flag.
If the file system supports directory filtering, the function searches for a file that matches the specified name and is also a directory.
If the file system does not support directory filtering, this flag is silently ignored.


The lpSearchFilter parameter of the FindFirstFileEx function must be NULL when this search value is used.

If directory filtering is desired, this flag can be used on all file systems, but because it is an advisory flag and only affects file systems that support it, the application must examine the file attribute data stored in the lpFindFileData parameter of the FindFirstFileEx function to determine whether the function has returned a handle to a directory.
FindExSearchLimitToDevices
This filtering type is not available.
