GetAnycastIpAddressEntry function (netioapi.h)
The GetAnycastIpAddressEntry function retrieves information for an existing anycast IP address entry on the local computer.
Syntax
IPHLPAPI_DLL_LINKAGE _NETIOAPI_SUCCESS_ NETIOAPI_API GetAnycastIpAddressEntry(
[in, out] PMIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW Row
);
Parameters
[in, out] Row
A pointer to a MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure entry for an anycast IP address entry. On successful return, this structure will be updated with the properties for an existing anycast IP address.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is NO_ERROR.
If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error codes.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The system cannot find the file specified. This error is returned if the network interface LUID or interface index specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter is not a value on the local machine. |
|
A parameter is incorrect. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Row parameter, the Address member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter is not set to a valid anycast IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter were unspecified. |
|
Element not found. This error is returned if the network interface specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter does not match the IP address and address family specified in the Address member in the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure. |
|
The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is on the local computer and an IPv4 address is specified in the Address member of the MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter. This error is returned if no IPv6 stack is on the local computer and an IPv6 address is specified in the Address member. |
|
Use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error. |
Remarks
The GetAnycastIpAddressEntry function is defined on Windows Vista and later.
The GetAnycastIpAddressEntry function is used to retrieve an existing MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure entry.
On input, the Address member in the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter must be initialized to a valid anycast IPv4 or IPv6 address and family. In addition, at least one of the following members in the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to the Row parameter must be initialized: the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex.
The fields are used in the order listed above. So if the InterfaceLuid is specified, then this member is used to determine the interface. If no value is set for the InterfaceLuid member (the value of this member is set to zero), then the InterfaceIndex member is next used to determine the interface.
On output when the call is successful, GetAnycastIpAddressEntry retrieves the other properties for the anycast IP address and fills out the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter.
The GetAnycastIpAddressTable function can be called to enumerate the anycast IP address entries on a local computer.
