Currently defined as int, but this can be an enum. The list above is incomplete, there are more defined.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Windows device-type documentation linked in the issue, then locate the Win32 metadata definition where FILE_DEVICE_* is currently represented as an int. Confirm the additional device types listed by Microsoft and update the representation so the complete set is exposed as an enum.
