    Obtaining a File Name From a File Handle


    The following example obtains a file name from a handle to a file object using a file mapping object. It uses the CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile functions to create the mapping. Next, it uses the GetMappedFileName function to obtain the file name. For remote files, it prints the device path received from this function. For local files, it converts the path to use a drive letter and prints this path. To test this code, create a main function that opens a file using CreateFile and passes the resulting handle to GetFileNameFromHandle. Copy
