The engineers who designed Windows file systems must have, at some point, discovered that their standard interface was too slow. Rather than coming up with ways to make it faster, they simply introduced a new, parallel one, called “fast I/O”, whose functionality is entirely redundant to the usual one. This is optional, but if you don’t implement it, some behaviors (like appending to a log file, one byte at a time) can become extremely inefficient. And naturally, none of their sample code shows how it’s supposed to work.
