# Windows Driver Frameworks

The Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) are a set of libraries that make

it simple to write high-quality device drivers.

## Goals for this project

Developers can use the MSDN reference documentation to learn about the

core concepts of WDF and the APIs available for use. Still, there's no

substitute for actual source code. That's why we've published

the source behind KMDF and UMDF v2 for anyone to dig through and debug

drivers with.

### Learning from the source

Unsure about what a particular WDF method is doing? Take a look at the

source. Our aim is to make the inner workings of WDF as transparent

for developers as possible.

*Note: As you experiment with WDF, you may come across undocumented

behavior or APIS. We strongly advise against taking dependencies on

that behavior as it's subject to change in future releases.*

### Debugging with the framework

Using the source in this repo, developers can perform step-through

debugging into the WDF source. This makes it much easier to follow

driver activity, understand interactions with the framework, and

diagnose issues.  Debugging can be done live by hooking onto a running

driver or after a crash by analyzing the dump file.  See the

[debugging page][] in the wiki for instructions.

## Scope

With this initial release, we've published the source behind KMDF and

UMDF v2. You'll find that a great deal of the source is shared

between the two. Driving the frameworks forward with a unified model

is a key priority for the WDF team.
