6.2. KMDF Components

KMDF is distributed as part of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) and consists of header files, libraries, sample drivers, development tools, public debugging symbols, and tracing format files. By default, KMDF is installed in the WDF subdirectory of the WDK root installation directory. KMDF-based drivers are built in the WDK build environment. Table 6.2 lists the KMDF components that are installed as part of WDF.
