Is there's a number in windows like inode in linux?

hi guys,

anyone know that the ntfs's file sytem struct? is there's a API or something other could let get this number? Or there is actually no such number in windows like inode in linux??

any suggestion could be ok! thks!

What are you trying to find out about a file/folder? Here is the Win32 file structure API File Management Functions (Windows).

Look at the "Get" functions if you need information about the file/folder.

NTFS stores a unique 8-byte reference number for each file. It's available on Vista+ by enumerating the directory files with GetFileInformationByHandleEx(<directoryHandle>, FileBothDirectoryInfo, ...) till it returns the file you're interested in, and otherwise since NT4 by NtQueryInformationFile(<fileHandle>, ..., FileInternalInformation);
