CM_Get_Res_Des_Data_Size function (cfgmgr32.h)

The CM_Get_Res_Des_Data_Size function obtains the buffer size required to hold the information contained in a specified resource descriptor on the local machine.

Syntax

CMAPI CONFIGRET CM_Get_Res_Des_Data_Size(
  [out] PULONG  pulSize,
  [in]  RES_DES rdResDes,
  [in]  ULONG   ulFlags
);

Parameters

[out] pulSize

Caller-supplied address of a location to receive the required buffer size.

[in] rdResDes

Caller-supplied handle to a resource descriptor, obtained by a previous call to CM_Get_Next_Res_Des.

[in] ulFlags

Not used, must be zero.

Return value

If the operation succeeds, the function returns CR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns one of the CR_-prefixed error codes defined in Cfgmgr32.h.

Note  Starting with Windows 8, CM_Get_Res_Des_Data_Size returns CR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED when used in a Wow64 scenario. To request information about the hardware resources on a local machine it is necessary implement an architecture-native version of the application using the hardware resource APIs. For example: An AMD64 application for AMD64 systems.
 

Remarks

The returned size value represents the size of the appropriate resource structure (see CM_Add_Res_Des). If the resource descriptor resides in a resource requirements list, the returned size includes both the size of the resource structure and the space allocated for associated range arrays.
