Is there a way to list the contents of Win32 Device Namespaces (UNC path prefix: \\.\ ) And Win32 File Namespaces (UNC path prefix: \\?\ )?
The goal would be to have an application suitable as a command-line tool (1) that can navigate through them using UNC (universal naming convention). Are there any tools already written for this? I know WinObj, but it is not open source or a GUI tool.
Similarly, how do I specify which namespaces are available in an NT namespace ?
Are there any windows API calls that deal with these? Update 2 WinApi is not suitable for this, NT Native API , as indicated in the comments on Hans Passant and Roger Lipscomb .
Update 1 If they do not appear in winapi, how will WinObj list them?
