IFWXSocket Interface
The IFWXSocket interface is the Microsoft Firewall service socket interface.
For more information about how the IFWXSocket interface is used in application filters, see Filter Object Model.
Syntax
interface IFWXSocket : IUnknown
Methods
The IFWXSocket interface inherits the methods of the IUnknown interface.
In addition, IFWXSocket defines the following methods.
Method | Description |

Remarks
Before releasing this interface, you must call IFWXSocket::Close or IFWXSocket::Shutdown on it.
This interface does not necessarily correspond to a network socket. It allows data filters to work with the data that is flowing through the socket by using a socket-like interface. A network socket implements the IFWXNetworkSocket interface. For more information about sockets and socket interfaces, see Socket Objects.
