TAPE_GET_POSITION structure (minitape.h)

The TAPE_GET_POSITION structure is used in conjunction with the IOCTL_TAPE_GET_POSITION request to retrieve the current absolute, logical, or pseudological partition and offset position on the tape.

Syntax

typedef struct _TAPE_GET_POSITION {
  ULONG         Type;
  ULONG         Partition;
  LARGE_INTEGER Offset;
} TAPE_GET_POSITION, *PTAPE_GET_POSITION;

Members
