Answer the following questions:
1. How does file and directories are arranged?
Files are organized by storing related files in the same directory. In a hierarchical file
system (that is, one in which files and directories are organized in a manner that resembles a
tree), a directory contained inside another directory is called a subdirectory. The terms parent and
child are often used to describe the relationship between a subdirectory and the directory in
which it is cataloged, the latter being the parent. The top-most directory in such a filesystem,
which does not have a parent of its own, is called the root directory.
2. Give example of driver used for audio, printing and video. Describe its characteristics.
 Audio Driver
o SysVAD Virtual Audio Device Driver – The Virtual Audio Device Driver
(SYSVAD) shows how to develop a WDM audio driver that exposes support for
multiple audio devices.
 Printer Driver
o Print Auto Configuration – Demonstrates how to implement Unidrv-based and
PScript5-based drivers to leverage the inbox support for auto-configuration. The
sample works only when used with the standard TCP/IP port monitor or the
Network-Connected Device (NCD) port monitor.
 Video Driver
o Kernel mode display-only miniport driver (KMDOD) sample – Implements
most device driver interfaces (DDIs) that a display-only miniport driver should
provide to the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The code is useful to
understand how to write a miniport driver for a display-only device, or how to
develop a full WDDM driver.
