Comments

ZwMakeTemporaryObject is a generic routine that operates on any type of object.

Making an object temporary causes the permanent flag of the associated object to be cleared. A temporary object has a name only as long as its handle count is greater than zero. When the handle count reaches zero, the system deletes the object name and adjusts the pointer count for the object appropriately.

Callers of ZwMakeTemporaryObject must be running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.
