Windows Kernel - File System Drivers

This section describes the Windows kernel file system drivers. These drivers provide the interfaces for interacting with various file systems within Windows.

Driver Structure

                    
                        // A typical file system driver has the following components:
                        // - Device Object: Represents the device the driver controls.
                        // - File System Object: Manages the file system itself.
                        // - Driver Object:  The core driver object that orchestrates the operations.

Key Concepts

Device Object: Represents a hardware device. File system drivers interact with the device object to perform operations.
File System Object: Represents the logical file system (e.g., NTFS, FAT32).
Driver Object: The entry point for driver interactions. Manages resources, handles requests, and communicates with the File System Object.
