Article
02/22/2024

The MesDecodeBufferHandleCreate function creates a decoding handle and initializes it for a (fixed) buffer style of serialization.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS MesDecodeBufferHandleCreate(
  char          *Buffer,
  unsigned long BufferSize,
  handle_t      *pHandle
);

Parameters

Buffer

Pointer to the buffer containing the data to decode.

BufferSize

Bytes of data to decode in the buffer.

pHandle

Pointer to the address to which the handle will be written.

Return value

Value	Meaning
RPC_S_OK	The call succeeded.
RPC_S_INVALID_ARG	The argument was not valid.
RPC_S_OUT_OF_MEMORY	Out of memory.
RPC_X_INVALID_BUFFER	The buffer was not valid.

Note For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.

Remarks

The MesDecodeBufferHandleCreate routine is used by applications to create a serialization handle and initialize the handle for the (fixed) buffer style of decoding. When using the fixed buffer style of decoding, the user supplies a single buffer containing all the encoded data. This buffer must have an address which is aligned at 8, and must be a multiple of 8 bytes in size. Further, it must be large enough to hold all of the data to decode.
