The FltObjectReference routine adds a rundown reference to an opaque filter, instance, or volume pointer.
FltObject [in, out]Opaque filter pointer (PFLT_FILTER), instance pointer (PFLT_INSTANCE), or volume pointer (PFLT_VOLUME).
FltObjectReference returns STATUS_SUCCESS or an appropriate NTSTATUS value such as the following:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| STATUS_FLT_DELETING_OBJECT | The minifilter driver, instance, or volume is being torn down. This is an error code. |
Adding a rundown reference to an opaque filter, instance, or volume object pointer prevents the object from being freed.
To remove a rundown reference from an opaque filter, instance, or volume pointer, call FltObjectDereference.
