A driver returned STATUS_REPARSE to an IRP_MJ_CREATE request with no trailing names. STATUS_REPARSE should be returned only for IRP_MJ_CREATE requests with trailing names, as it indicates the driver is supporting name spaces.

After the Stop code will be 4 hex values: {Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, Parameter 4}.

Parameter 1 specifies the device object that was opened.

Parameter 2 specifies the device object to which the IRP_MJ_CREATE request was issued.

Parameter 3 specifies an address of the Unicode string containing the new name of the file (to be reparsed).

Parameter 4 specifies information returned by the driver for the IRP_MJ_CREATE request.

A STATUS_REPARSE is a returned value from a driver when a reparse is required to handle a symbolic link.

IRP_MJ_CREATE is an I/O Request Packet Major function code to tell the driver to open a file object or device object.
