Abstract
A filter driver (usable with a system having a bus, a host connected to the bus and one or more devices connected to the bus) that supplants first device objects (DOs) with second DOs. Such a filter driver includes: an intercept code portion to intercept a set of data identifying one or more first DOs, respectively; a determination code portion to determine addresses of second DOs corresponding to the first DOs identified by the data set, respectively; and a change code portion to change the data set such that members thereof identify the second DOs rather than the first DOs.
Claims18
A filter driver code arrangement on a computer-readable medium for use in a system having a bus, a host connected to said bus and one or more devices connected to said bus, execution of said code arrangement by one or more processors of said host supplanting first device objects (DOs) with second DOs, the code arrangement comprising:
- an intercept code portion to intercept a set of data identifying one or more first DOs, respectively;
- a determination code portion to determine addresses of second DOs corresponding to said first DOs identified by said data set, respectively;
- and
- a change code portion to change said data set such that members thereof identify said second DOs rather than said first DOs.
A method, for use in a system having a bus, a host connected to said bus and one or more devices connected to said bus, the method supplanting first device objects (DOs) with second DOs, the code arrangement comprising:
- intercepting a set of data identifying one or more first DOs;
- determining addresses of second DOs corresponding to said first DOs identified by said data set, respectively;
- and
- changing said data set such that members thereof identify said second DOs rather than said first DOs.
An apparatus in a system having a bus and one or more devices connected to said bus, wherein the host is connected to said bus, for supplanting a set of data identifying first device objects (DOs) representing said one or more devices connected to said bus, respectively, with a set of data identifying second DOs, the apparatus comprising:
- intercept means for intercepting a set of data identifying one or more first DOs, respectively;
- determination means for determining addresses of second DOs corresponding to said first DOs identified by said data set, respectively;
- and
- change means for changing said data set such that members thereof identify said second DOs rather than said first DOs.
