Summary

Dispatch routines form the basic interface between a requestor and a driver. This chapter presented the framework for these functions and discussed the details for accessing the user's buffers and other parameters. Read, Write, and DeviceIoControl requests can now be presented to the driver.

The next chapter begins the interface with the real device. The path from starting the device to register data transfer to interrupt handling is discussed.
