CloseEncryptedFileRaw function
Closes an encrypted file after a backup or restore operation, and frees associated system resources. This is one of a group of Encrypted File System (EFS) functions that is intended to implement backup and restore functionality, while maintaining files in their encrypted state.
Syntax
void WINAPI CloseEncryptedFileRaw(
_In_ PVOID pvContext
);
Parameters
- pvContext [in]
-
A pointer to a system-defined context block. The OpenEncryptedFileRaw function returns the context block.
Return value
This function does not return a value.
Remarks
The CloseEncryptedFileRaw function frees allocated system resources such as the system-defined context block and closes the file.
The BackupRead and BackupWrite functions handle backup and restore of unencrypted files.
