FS_Sys_Objects

The sys/objects directory

The directory sys/objects exists as a sub-directory to the file system root.

The directory and its sub-directories contains information about named objects by the windows kernel object manager.

The files in the sys/objects directory are listed in the table below:

File	Description
objects.txt	Summary information about all objects.
ROOT/	Global Kernel Object Manager Root.

Files in the sys/objects directory and sub-directories are read-only.

File: objects.txt

The file objects.txt contains summary information about the named objects. The meaning of the different columns are as follows:

   # Object Address   Type          Description
-----------------------------------------------
0000 ffffbc0793417c40 Directory     \
0001 ffffbc0793416530 SymbolicLink  \\DosDevices  [\??]
0002 ffffbc0793416830 Directory     \\ObjectTypes
0003 ffffbc07934179c0 Directory     \\KernelObjects
0004 ffffbc079341b060 Directory     \\GLOBAL??
0005 ffffbc079341b6d0 Directory     \\Security
0006 ffffbc079341d060 Directory     \\Callback

Example

The example shows the global kernel object hierarchy made available as a file system under the sys/objects directory. It shows the object summary information as the file objects.txt and the specific object and header of the driver ad_driver.

For Developers

The sys/objects sub-directory is implemented as a built-in native C-code plugin. The plugin source is located in the file modules/m_sys_obj.c in the vmm project.
