FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM The file is part of or is used exclusively by the operation system.
文件是系统的一部分 , 或是系统专用的 .

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY The file is being used for temporary storage. File systems attempt
to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than
flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be
deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.
文件被使用后，文件系统将努力为（文件的）全部数据的迅迅訪问保持一块
内存。暂时文件应当在程序不用时及时删除。

Any combination of the following flags is acceptable for the dwFlagsAndAttributes parameter.
dwFlagAndAttributes 能够接受下列标志的随意组合。

FLAG （标志） Meaning( 含义 )
FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH Instructs the system to write through any intermediate cache and go
directly to disk. The system can still cache write operations, but
cannot lazily flush them.
指示系统通过高速缓存直接写入磁盘，

FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED Instructs the system to initialize the object, so that operations that
take a significant amount of time to process return ERROR_IO_PENDING.
When the operation is finished, the specified event is set to the
signaled state.
指示系统初始化对象 , 此操作将对进程设置一个引用计数并返回 ERROR_IO_PENDING.
处理完成后 , 指定对象将被设置为信号状态 .

When you specify FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, the file read and write functions
must specify an OVERLAPPED structure. That is, when FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
is specified, an application must perform overlapped parameter(pointing
to an OVERLAPPED structure)to the file read and write functions.
This flag also enables more than one operation to be performed
simultaneously with the handle(a simultaneous read and write operation,
for example).
当你指定 FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED 时 , 读写文件的函数必须指定一个 OVERLAPPED 结构 .
而且 . 当 FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED 被指定 , 程序必须运行重叠參数 ( 指向 OVERLAPPED
结构 ) 去进行文件的读写 .
这个标志也能够有超过一个操作去运行 .

FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING Instructs the system to open the file with no intermediate buffering or
caching.When combined with FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, the flag gives maximum
asynchronous performance, because the I/O does not rely on the synchronous
operations of the memory manager. However, some I/O operations will take
longer, because data is not being held in the cache.
指示系统不使用高速缓冲区或缓存，当和 FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED 组合 , 该标志给出最
大的异步操作量 , 由于 I/O 不依赖内存管理器的异步操作 . 然而 , 一些 I/O 操作将会运行
得长一些 , 由于数据沒有控制在缓存中 .

An application must meet certain requirements when working with files
opened with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING:
当使用 FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING 打开文件进行工作时 , 程序必须达到下列要求 :

File access must begin at byte offsets within the file that are
integer multiples of the volume's sector size.
文件的存取开头的字节偏移量必须是扇区尺寸的整倍数 .

File access must be for numbers of bytes that are integer
multiples of the volume's sector size. For example, if the sector
size is 512 bytes, an application can request reads and writes of
512, 1024, or 2048 bytes, but not of 335, 981, or 7171bytes.
文件存取的字节数必须是扇区尺寸的整倍数 . 比如 , 假设扇区尺寸是 512 字节
程序就能够读或者写 512,1024 或者 2048 字节 , 但不能够是 335,981 或者 7171
字节 .

buffer addresses for read and write operations must be sector
aligned(aligned on addresses in memory that are integer multiples
of the volume's sector size).
进行读和写操作的地址必须在扇区的对齐位置 , 在内存中对齐的地址是扇区
尺寸的整倍数 .

One way to align buffers on integer multiples of the volume sector size is
to use VirtualAlloc to allocate the buffers, It allocates memory that is
aligned on addresses that are integer multiples of the operating system's
memory page size. Because both memory page and volume sector sizes are
powers of 2, this memory is also aligned on addresses that are integer
multiples of a volume's sector size.
一个将缓冲区与扇区尺寸对齐的途径是使用 VirtualAlloc 函数 . 它分配与操作系统
内存页大小的整倍数对齐的内存地址 . 由于内存页尺寸和扇区尺寸 --2 都是它们的幂 .
这块内存在地址中相同与扇区尺寸大小的整倍数对齐 .

An application can determine a volume's sector size by calling the
GetDiskFreeSpace function
程序能够通过调用 GetDiskFreeSpace 来确定扇区的尺寸 .

FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS
Indicates that the file is accessed randomly. The system can use this as
a hint to optimize file caching.
指定文件是随机訪问 , 这个标志能够使系统优化文件的缓冲 .

FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN
Indicates that the file is to be accessed sequentially from beginning to
end. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching. If an
application moves the file pointer for random access, optimum caching may
not occur; however, correct operation is still guaranteed.
指定文件将从头到尾连续地訪问 . 这个标志能够提示系统优化文件缓冲 . 假设程序在
随机訪问文件里移动文件指针 , 优化可能不会发生 ; 然而 , 正确的操作仍然能够得到保
证

Specifying this flag can increase performance for applications that read
large files using sequential access, performance gains can be even more
noticeable for applications that read large files mostly sequentially,
but occasionally skip over small ranges of bytes.
指定这个标志能够提高程序以顺序訪问模式读取大文件的性能 , 性能的提高在很多
程序读取一些大的顺序文件时是异常明显的 . 可是可能会有小范围的字节遗漏 .

FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE Indicates that the operating system is to delete the file immediately
after all of its handles have been closed, not just the handle for which
you specified FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE.
指示系统在文件全部打开的句柄关闭后马上删除文件 . 不唯独你能够指定 FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE

Subsequent open requests for the file will fail, unless FILE_SHARE_DELETE
is used.
假设沒有使用 FILE_SHARE_DELETE, 后续的打开文件的请求将会失败 .

FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS WINDOWS NT:Indicates that the file is being opened or created for a backup
or restore operation.The system ensures that the calling process overrides
file security checks, provided it has the necessary privileges. The
relevant privileges are SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME.
WINDOWS NT: 指示系统为文件的打开或创建运行一个备份或恢复操作 . 系统保证调
用进程忽略文件的安全选项 , 倘若它必须有一个特权 . 则相关的特权则是 SE_BACKUP_NAME
和 SE_RESTORE_NAME.

You can also set this flag to obtain a handle to a directory. A directory
handle can be passed to some Win32 functions in place of a file handle.
你也能够使用这个标志获得一个目录的句柄，一个目录句柄能够象一个文件句柄
一样传给某些 Win32 函数。

FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS Indicates that the file is to be accessed according to POSIX rules. This
includes allowing multiple files with names, differing only in case, for file
systems that support such naming. Use care when using this option because
files created with this flag may not be accessible by applications written
for MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows.
指明文件符合 POSIX 标准 . 这是在 MS-DOS 与 16 位 Windows 下的标准 .

FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT Specifying this flag inhibits the reparse behavior of NTFS reparse points.
When the file is opened, a file handle is returned, whether the filter that
controls the reparse point is operational or not. This flag cannot be used
with the CREATE_ALWAYS flag.
指定这个标志制约 NTFS 分区指针 . 该标志不能够和 CREAT_ALWAYS 一起使用 .

FILE_FLAG_OPEN_NO_RECALL Indicates that the file data is requested,but it should continue to reside in
remote storage. It should not be transported back to local storage. This flag
is intended for use by remote storage systems or the Hierarchical Storage
Management system.
指明须要文件数据 , 可是将继续从远程存储器中接收 . 它不会将数据存放在本地存储器中 .
这个标志由远程存储系统或等级存储管理器系统使用 .

hTemplateFile
Specifies a handle with GENERIC_READ access to a template file. The template file supplies file attributes and
extended attributes for the file being created.
为 GENERIC_READ 訪问的模式指定一个句柄到模板文件 . 模板文件在文件開始创建后提供文件属性和扩展属性 .

Return Values
返回值

If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle to the specified file. If the specified file exists before
the function call and dwCreation is CREATE_ALWAYS or OPEN_ALWAYS, a call to GetLastError returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
(even though the function has succeeded). If the file does not exist before the call, GetLastError returns zero.
假设函数成功 , 返回一个打开的指定文件的句柄 . 假设指定文件在函数调用前已经存在而且 dwCreation 參数是 CREATE_ALWAYS 或者
OPEN_ALWAYS, 调用 GetLastError 就会返回 ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS( 表示函数成功 ). 假设函数文件在调用前不存在则会返回 0.

If the function fails, the return value is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
假设函数失败 , 返会值会是 INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. 许多其他的错误信息能够调用 GetLastError 来获得 .
