When debugging my .inf-file I have ended up reading the setupapi.dev.log-file (/windows/inf/) to find out what is going wrong. The Microsoft generated log-file contains the following abbreviations which I want to find out what they stand for:

  • dvi
  • inf
  • sto
  • idb
  • flq
  • ump
  • ndv
  • sig
  • cpy

I can guess that cpy stands for copy and sig for signature. But the others? I'm just curious!

You'll find that information in the Format of a Text Log Section Body section of MSDN.

Random selection:

  • dvi: Device installation
  • flq: Manage file queues
  • inf: Manage INF files
  • ndv: New device wizard
