Windows Projected File System for Python

What does this project do?

In a nutshell, this allows one to use the Windows Projected File System (ProjFS) API from Python.

This is achieved using ctypes to call library exports in C:\Windows\System32\ProjectedFSLib.dll. The function prototypes, enumerations, and defines were manually translated from the Windows SDK header file <projectedfslib.h>.

If you're not sure what the Windows Projected File System is, more info can be found at:

• MSDN docs
• Windows Classic Samples
• ProjFS-Managed-API on GitHub
