PEVENT_TRACE_BUFFER_CALLBACKW callback function (evntrace.h)
ETW event consumers implement this function to receive statistics about each buffer of events that ETW delivers during a trace processing session. ETW calls this function after the events for each buffer are delivered.
The PEVENT_TRACE_BUFFER_CALLBACK type defines a pointer to this callback function. BufferCallback is a placeholder for the application-defined function name.
Syntax
PEVENT_TRACE_BUFFER_CALLBACKW PeventTraceBufferCallbackw;
ULONG PeventTraceBufferCallbackw(
PEVENT_TRACE_LOGFILEW Logfile
)
{...}
Parameters
Logfile
Pointer to an EVENT_TRACE_LOGFILE structure that contains information about the buffer.
Return value
To continue processing events, return TRUE. Otherwise, return FALSE. Returning FALSE will terminate the ProcessTrace function.
Remarks
To specify the function that ETW calls to deliver the buffer statistics, set the BufferCallback member of the EVENT_TRACE_LOGFILE structure that you pass to the OpenTrace function.
Examples
For an example implementation of a BufferCallback function, see Retrieving Event Data Using MOF.
Note
The evntrace.h header defines PEVENT_TRACE_BUFFER_CALLBACK as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
