And just to proove it:
#include <windows.h>
#include <winbase.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
HANDLE h;
unsigned long numwritten;
h = CreateFile("\\\\.\\C:\\COM1", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
CREATE_ALWAYS, 0, 0);
WriteFile(h, "hello", 5, &numwritten, NULL);
CloseHandle(h);
return 0;
}
This will create a "COM1" file within your c: drive, write "hello" in it and
close it :)
Don't ask me if this works in win9x. This works in WinNT and Win2000.
