The FSCTL_GET_COMPRESSION DeviceIoControl operation obtains the current compression state of a file or directory on a volume whose file system supports per-stream compression.
dwIoControlCode = FSCTL_GET_COMPRESSION; // operation code lpInBuffer = NULL; // pointer to input buffer; not used; must be NULL nInBufferSize = 0; // size of input buffer; not used; must be zero lpOutBuffer ; // pointer to output buffer nOutBufferSize ; // size of output buffer lpBytesReturned ; // pointer to actual bytes of output
The following values are defined:
Value |
Meaning |
COMPRESSION_FORMAT_NONE |
The file or directory is not compressed. |
COMPRESSION_FORMAT_LZNT1 |
The file or directory is compressed, using the LZNT1 compression format. |
all other values |
Reserved for future use. |
If the operation succeeds, DeviceIoControl returns a nonzero value.
If the operation fails, DeviceIoControl returns zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
On this release, LZNT1 is the only compression algorithm implemented. Future releases may have additional compression methods.
COMPRESSION_FORMAT_DEFAULT is not a compression state so it is not included in the table under the lpOutBuffer parameter. This value is only used with the FSCTL_SET_COMPRESSION operation
If the file system of the volume containing the specified file or directory does not support per-file or per-directory compression, the FSCTL_GET_COMPRESSION operation fails.
Windows NT version 3.51 supports file compression on volumes formatted with NTFS.
You can set the compression state of a file or directory by using the FSCTL_SET_COMPRESSION DeviceIoControl operation. You can also compress or uncompress a file with that operation.
You can obtain the compression attribute of a file or directory by calling the GetFileAttributes function. The compression attribute indicates whether a file or directory is compressed. The compression state indicates whether a file or directory is compressed, and, if it is, the format of the compressed data.
