3.1.5.28 OpenPerformanceText (Opnum 32)

The OpenPerformanceText method is called by the client. In response, the server opens a handle to the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT predefined key. The HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT predefined key is used to retrieve performance information from a registry server using only the BaseRegQueryInfoKey, BaseRegQueryValue, BaseRegEnumValue, and BaseRegCloseKey methods.

 error_status_t OpenPerformanceText(
   [in, unique] PREGISTRY_SERVER_NAME ServerName,
   [in] REGSAM samDesired,
   [out] PRPC_HKEY phKey
 );

ServerName: SHOULD be sent as NULL and MUST be ignored on receipt because the binding to the server is already complete at this stage.

samDesired: SHOULD be sent as 0 and MUST be ignored on receipt.

phKey: A pointer to a variable that receives a handle to the root key HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT.

Return Values: This method MUST always return a 0 (ERROR_SUCCESS), even in case of errors.

Return value/code	Description
0 ERROR_SUCCESS	Always returned.

Server Operations

The server attempts to open the root key, HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT, and return a handle to that key in the phKey parameter.

The server MUST create a new valid context handle. The server MUST store the context handle value in the handle table (HANDLETABLE) along with a mapping to the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT  key. The server MUST always return 0, even in case of errors.
