GetMulticastIpAddressEntry function (netioapi.h)
The GetMulticastIpAddressEntry function retrieves information for an existing multicast IP address entry on the local computer.
IPHLPAPI_DLL_LINKAGE _NETIOAPI_SUCCESS_ NETIOAPI_API GetMulticastIpAddressEntry(
[in, out] PMIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW Row
);
[in, out] Row
A pointer to a MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure entry for a multicast IP address entry. On successful return, this structure will be updated with the properties for an existing multicast IP address.
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_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_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_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter is not set to a valid multicast IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter are unspecified. |
|
Element not found. This error is returned if the network interface specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_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_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_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 MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW pointed to by the Row parameter. This error is also 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. |
The GetMulticastIpAddressEntry function is defined on Windows Vista and later.
The GetMulticastIpAddressEntry function is used to retrieve an existing MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure entry.
On input, the Address member in the MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter must be initialized to a valid multicast IPv4 or IPv6 address and family. In addition, at least one of the following members in the MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_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, GetMulticastIpAddressEntry retrieves the other properties for the multicast IP address and fills out the MIB_MULTICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure pointed to by the Row parameter.
The GetMulticastIpAddressTable function can be called to enumerate the multicast IP address entries on a local computer.
