PeerDistGetStatus function (peerdist.h)
The PeerDistGetStatus function returns the current status of the Peer Distribution service.
Syntax
DWORD PeerDistGetStatus(
[in] PEERDIST_INSTANCE_HANDLE hPeerDist,
[out] PEERDIST_STATUS *pPeerDistStatus
);
Parameters
[in] hPeerDist
A PEERDIST_INSTANCE_HANDLE returned by PeerDistStartup.
[out] pPeerDistStatus
A pointer to a PEERDIST_STATUS enumeration which upon operation success receives the current status of the Peer Distribution service.

Remarks
A Group Policy change can result in the Peer Distribution service moving to an available, unavailable, or disabled state. Depending on the resultant state of this transition, the content, content information, or stream handles the caller has access to may no longer function. If this is the case, the caller must explicitly close the handles by calling the appropriate Peer Distribution API.
