A device object that represents a device for a filter driver.

A driver that modifies or monitors I/O requests as they pass through the device stack.

The primary driver for a device.

A declaration that provides SDV with information about the intended use of a WDF callback function or WDM dispatch function.

A category that PREfast uses to perform stricter type matching for assignments of callback functions to function pointers and to apply checks that are specific to a particular function type.

A device object that represents a device for a function driver.

An implicit condition imposed on a pointer argument of an action procedure for analysis with SDV.
