  [in, optional] PULONG NumberOfDirtyPages
);

Parameters

[in] Vpb

A pointer to a volume parameter block (VPB) for the volume.

[in, optional] NumberOfDirtyPages

An optional pointer to an unsigned long buffer that receives the number of dirty pages on the volume (associated with the Vpb parameter).
