NDIS_SET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE (Windows CE 5.0)
This macro sets the HeaderSize member in the NDIS_OOB_DATA_FROM_PACKET structure associated with a specified packet descriptor for a subsequent receive indication.
UINT NDIS_SET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE(PNDIS_PACKET _Packet,UINT _HdrSize);
Parameters
- _Packet
Pointer to a driver-allocated packet descriptor. - _HdrSize
Specifies the medium-specific number of bytes in the net packet header.
Return Values
The return value is the _HdrSize value.
Remarks
The HeaderSize member in NDIS_PACKET_OOB_DATA associated with a packet descriptor specifies the number of bytes of medium-specific header in the buffer mapped by the initial buffer descriptor chained to the packet descriptor.
A lower-level driver sets this member with this macro in the out-of-band (OOB) data blocks for the receive packets it subsequently indicates with the NdisMIndicateReceivePacket function. Typically, a miniport sets the **HeaderSize****once for each packet descriptor that it allocates with the NdisAllocatePacket function for subsequent receive indications, depending on the medium that it selects during initialization. If such a driver clears the OOB data block with the NDIS_OOB_DATA_FROM_PACKET macro and the NdisZeroMemory function when it regains ownership of its receive packet descriptors. That driver must call this macro before it reuses each packet descriptor in a subsequent indication.
When such an indication is made, bound protocols can retrieve this information with the NDIS_GET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE macro.
The NDIS_SET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE macro is defined as follows.
#define NDIS_SET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE(_Packet, _HdrSize) \
((PNDIS_PACKET_OOB_DATA)((PUCHAR)(_Packet) + \
(_Packet)->Private.NdisPacketOobOffset))->HeaderSize = (_HdrSize)
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ndis.h.
