NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate function (netadapter.h)

  • Article

The NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate function allocates a NETADAPTER_INIT structure that a client driver uses when creating a new NETADAPTER object for a deviceless adapter.

Syntax

NETADAPTER_INIT * NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate(
  [_In_] const GUID *NetworkInterfaceGuid
);

Parameters

[_In_] NetworkInterfaceGuid

The GUID of a valid network interface using the to-be-created deviceless adapter.

Return value

Returns a pointer to a framework-allocated NETADAPTER_INIT structure if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this function returns NULL.

Important

If a client driver receives a NETADAPTER_INIT structure from a successful call to this function, the driver must always call NetAdapterInitFree to deallocate it regardless of the result of NetAdapterCreate.
