The kit does not provide on-disk formats or file system ioctls of existing file systems, such as FAT, NTFS, and so on. The kit does not provide interfaces to write a bootable file system, either local or remote. These only work for system-supplied file systems. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that all supplied utilities are not usable by third party file systems. Developers of new file systems will need to write their own utilities.
Documentation is included.
See below for more details. The kit includes the Windows 2000 master IFS header file, ntifs.h. Future releases of the kit may include additional tools useful in developing a file system. Future releases of the kit may include additional tests useful in testing the interfaces of the file system driver. To subscribe, select ntfsd and fill in the form.
