STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE & STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

NTFSD
1

So, I’ve been trying to work through the IfsTests
in preperation for PlugFest next week… and I’m
running into a bit of a problem with these to
status codes.

When I don’t find a file, if I return
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND, the
UnicodeOnDiskTest squawks and says it
wants STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE.

Yet, if I return STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE,
I get a failure in FileFullPathCreationTest
that it wants STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

Can anyone tell me when I should return
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND and when
I should return STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE.

Thanks,

Joseph

STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE is, IIRC, for FindFirst/FindNext calls, and
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND is for IRP_MJ_CREATE when the user requested
OPEN/OVERWITE.

Thanks; that was the differentiator I was looking for.

But …If I’m not wrong…for

FindFirst/FindNext status code is STATUS_SUCCESS or
STATUS_NO_MORE_FILES,
For invalid names …STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND,
and for CREATE/OPEN of non-existing file/folder its STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE.

Please let me know if I’m wrong and any inputs would be grateful to
clear my doubts on the same…

FindFirst/Find next returns STATUS_NO_MORE_FILES if some entries were
returned in previous queries; if there are no entries at all that match the
request then STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE is returned.
For invalid names there is STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID; create operation
never returns STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE.

STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND is for mainstream use, including all CREATE
paths.

STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE is used only inside directory control (readdir()
semantics) in a case if there is zero files which match the search wildcard.
