• Device Name
• Device Alias
• Device's Serial Number
• Device's Storage name associated with the given drive letter
• Device's properties (same as presented in the Windows Explorer's property window at the MTPdrive tab for a given drive letter see here).

Syntax

int __stdcall GetDeviceInfoExEx(
  WCHAR cDrive, 
  LPWSTR psDeviceName, int nDeviceNameLen, 
  LPWSTR psDeviceAlias, int nDeviceAliasLen, 
  LPWSTR psDeviceSerial, int nDeviceSerialLen,
  LPWSTR psDeviceStorageName, int nDeviceStorageNameLen,
  LPWSTR psDevicePropertiesJson, int nDevicePropertiesJsonLen
);

Parameters

cDrive

The drive letter to get the details about.

psDeviceName

A pointer to the buffer that receives the device name.

nDeviceNameLen

The length of the buffer for the device name string, in WCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character.

psDeviceAlias

A pointer to the buffer that receives the device alias.

nDeviceAliasLen

The length of the buffer for the device alias string, in WCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character.

psDeviceSerial

A pointer to the buffer that receives the device's serial number.

nDeviceSerialLen

The length of the buffer for the device's serial number string, in WCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character.

psDeviceStorageName

A pointer to the buffer that receives the device's storage name associated with the given drive letter.

nDeviceStorageNameLen

The length of the buffer for the device's storage name string, in WCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character.

psDevicePropertiesJson

A pointer to the buffer that receives the device properties as a JSON string.

nDevicePropertiesJsonLen

The length of the buffer for the device properties JSON string, in WCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is zero and the psDeviceName, psDeviceName, psDeviceName, psDeviceStorageName, and psDevicePropertiesJson contain the details about the given drive letter.

If the function fails, the return value is negative number. See the Example for more details about possible error codes.
