Opening "CON" (i.e. r"\\.\CON") fails with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (87) because
it has to be opened with either GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE data access in
order to map it to either the console input buffer or active screen buffer. The
CreateFileW call in stat() necessarily requests no data access.
Calling stat on "NUL" (among others such as "CONIN$", "//./C:", and
"//./PhysicalDrive0") fails with ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION (1) -- or possibly
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER or ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED (50), depending on the device.
stat() calls GetFileInformationByHandle. This requests FileFsVolumeInformation
and FileAllInformation, which commonly fail as unsupported or invalid requests
for devices other than filesystem devices. Even volume and raw disk devices
fail a FileAllInformation request.
If we have a valid file handle, we can get the file type via
GetFileType(hFile), as _Py_fstat_noraise does in Python/fileutils.c. If opening
a handle fails with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER for a path that resolves to
r"\\.\CON" or r"\\?\CON" via GetFullPathNameW, we can simply set st_mode to
_S_IFCHR and return.
For example:
if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
DWORD lastError = GetLastError();
if (lastError == ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER) {
WCHAR fullPath[8];
if (GetFullPathNameW(path, sizeof(fullPath),
fullPath, NULL) == 7 && (
_wcsicmp(fullPath, L"\\\\.\\CON") == 0 ||
_wcsicmp(fullPath, L"\\\\?\\CON") == 0)) {
memset(result, 0, sizeof(*result));
result->st_mode = _S_IFCHR;
return 0;
}
}
/*
Existing error handling code.
*/
} else {
DWORD type = GetFileType(hFile);
if (type != FILE_TYPE_DISK) {
CloseHandle(hFile);
if (type == FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN && GetLastError() != 0) {
return -1;
}
memset(result, 0, sizeof(*result));
if (type == FILE_TYPE_CHAR) { /* e.g. "//./NUL" */
result->st_mode = _S_IFCHR;
} else if (type == FILE_TYPE_PIPE) { /* e.g. "//./PIPE/Spam" */
result->st_mode = _S_IFIFO;
}
return 0;
} else if (!GetFileInformationByHandle(hFile, &info)) {
DWORD lastError = GetLastError();
CloseHandle(hFile);
/* e.g. "//./C:" or "//./PhysicalDrive0" */
if (lastError == ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION ||
lastError == ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER ||
lastError == ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
memset(result, 0, sizeof(*result));
result->st_mode = _S_IFREG;
return 0;
}
return -1;
}
}
