DriverEntry for Stream Class Minidrivers routine

The stream minidriver's DriverEntry initializes a stream class minidriver. This routine is required.

Syntax

ULONG DriverEntry(
  _In_ PVOID Argument1,
  _In_ PVOID Argument2
);

Parameters

  • Argument1 [in]
    Supplies a context value with which the adapter minidriver should call StreamClassRegisterMinidriver. For Windows 2000 and later, this points to a DRIVER_OBJECT.

  • Argument2 [in]
    Supplies a second context value with which the adapter minidriver should call StreamClassRegisterMinidriver. For Windows 2000 and later, this points to a registry path.

Return value

DriverEntry returns the value returned by its call to StreamClassRegisterMinidriver.

Remarks

DriverEntry is the initial entry point for a stream class minidriver.

Since StreamClassRegisterMinidriver performs most of the required driver initialization, the primary task of a stream class minidriver's DriverEntry routine is to allocate and fill in a HW_INITIALIZATION_DATA structure with driver-specific constants and entry points. The DriverEntry should then call StreamClassRegisterMinidriver.
