Add the following source code.

 

#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

 

void Syntax(WCHAR *argv)

{

   wprintf(L%s unmounts a mounted volume\n, argv);

   wprintf(L     Example: \%s c:\\mnt\\fdrive\\\\n, argv);

}

 

int wmain(int argc, WCHAR *argv[])

{

   BOOL bFlag;

 

   // Verify the arguments

   if (argc != 2)

   {

      Syntax(argv[0]);

      return (-1);

   }

  

   // We should do some error checking on the path argument, such as

   // ensuring that there is a trailing backslash

   bFlag = DeleteVolumeMountPoint(

              argv[1] // Path of the volume mount point

           );

 

   wprintf(L\n%s %s in unmounting the volume at %s\n, argv[0], bFlag ? Lsucceeded : Lfailed, argv[1]);

 

   return (bFlag);

}

 

 

Build and run the project. The following screenshot is an output sample without any argument.
