Hi Eric,

As far as I know, the return value is always checked, even if not instantly.
It's sometimes not checked, but a loop will fail if the function failed.
Filip and I have extensively tested it to ensure that invalid parameters or
failures would not crash it.

As for the use of absolute registry paths, I don't understand what you mean?
The function is meant to be called with IDs/Numbers, not a direct registry
path... if you had the direct path, you could simple query the key in your
own code.

I hope this helps...

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu

I plan to use IoQueryDeviceDescription but IMO it is not ready for use yet.
The current implementation got a few weak spots, like calls to system
functions (NtQueryValueKey or ExAllocatePool) with missing return value
checks or the use of absolute registry paths.

Eric
