All,

is there a difference between initializing an event
using IoCreateNotificationEvent or KeInitializeEvent with event type
NotificationEvent?

thanks

IoCreateNotificationEvent creats a named, reference counted object, allocated by kernel, managed by the object manager.

KeInitializeEvent only initializes an event structure provided by you. This structure doesn’t have a name and doesn’t have reference counts.
