/DRIVER (Windows NT Kernel Mode Driver)

/DRIVER[:UPONLY |:WDM]

Use this linker option to build a Windows NT kernel mode driver.

The UPONLY keyword causes the linker to add the IMAGE_FILE_UP_SYSTEM_ONLY bit to the characteristics in the output header to specify that it is a uniprocessor (UP) driver. The operating system will refuse to load a UP driver on a multiprocessor (MP) system.

The WDM keyword causes the linker to set the IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_WDM_DRIVER bit in the optional header's DllCharacteristics field. WDM video capture was designed to resolve the problems inherent in the Video for Windows architecture.
