Retrieving Device/File Name from File handle WinDBG

Question

Is it possible to retrieve target device name (\Device\ExampleDevice) or file name from a file/device handle (which is returned by CreateFile API).

Actually, I have an user mode application which communicates with Kernel driver using DeviceIoControl(). So when the application is running, I've set a break point at Kernel32!DeviceIoControl. so when the application hit the break point, From stack I've collected the target device handle, to which the application is sending IOCTL. We know that second parameter is the target device handle.

I want to know, is there any way I can get the Device Name (\Device\ExampleDevice) from the handle which is 0x000007bc in this case without setting break point at CreateFile?

I tried below thing.Please suggest.

Thanks in Advance,

What you are doing is correct but object specific information is not available for some reason which is strange, presumably all your symbols are correct? — EdChum
Yes!I guess so! Does "!handle 000007bc 7" out put should contain the dev. name in general case?? — Dev.K.
It outputs handle object specific information if available, so I would expect file path to be there — EdChum
I have the exact same problem. Using procdump -ma, I couldn't get specific object information. A dump taken from another process at another time didn't have this problem. I'm left now with it either being a rights problem or a difference between taking a dump of a service and a plain process. — Lieven Keersmaekers

very late answer

kernel32!beep does not call CreateFileA or W it calls NtCreateFile in ntdll.dll Directly so breakpoints in kernel32.dll do not get hit

in this specific case the FILE is always \Device\Beep

as said earlier Name Info is available in kernel mode and not user mode

name can be found in a parallel local kernel debugging session

find the pid find the object and get the name of the object

C:\>wmic process get name,Processid | grep -i beep
Beep.exe                2796

C:\>kd -kl -c "!handle 0xfa4 7  0n2796;q " | grep -i object:
