In Win32 layer, we often meet ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND, ERROR_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

When does WinAPI(eg CreateFileW, RemoveDirectoryW) return these values? And What's the difference?

If I write a file system driver, when do I set STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND or STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND?

I'm so confused. Is there anyone who can explain clearly?
Or are there any documents explain this? I couldn't find them.

Thanks in advance.
