Chapter 7. Driver Dispatch RoutinesCHAPTER OBJECTIVES
Getting a driver to load is the first step, but ultimately the job of a driver is to respond to I/O requests from user-mode applications or from other parts of the system. Windows 2000 drivers process these requests by implementing Dispatch routines. The I/O Manager in response to a request calls these routines. This chapter describes the basic Dispatch routines and explains the overall process of handling I/O requests.
