RpcServerRegisterIf function (rpcdce.h)

The RpcServerRegisterIf function registers an interface with the RPC run-time library.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcServerRegisterIf(
  RPC_IF_HANDLE IfSpec,
  UUID          *MgrTypeUuid,
  RPC_MGR_EPV   *MgrEpv
);

Parameters

IfSpec

MIDL-generated structure indicating the interface to register.

MgrTypeUuid

Pointer to a type UUID to associate with the MgrEpv parameter. Specifying a null parameter value (or a nil UUID) registers IfSpec with a nil-type UUID.

MgrEpv

Manager routines' entry-point vector (EPV). To use the MIDL-generated default EPV, specify a null value. For more information, please see RPC_MGR_EPV.

Return value

Returns RPC_S_OK upon success.

Note  For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.

 

Remarks

A server can register an unlimited number of interfaces with the RPC run-time library. Registration makes an interface available to clients using a binding handle to the server. To register an interface, the server application code calls RpcServerRegisterIf. For each implementation of an interface that a server offers, it must register a separate manager EPV.

When calling RpcServerRegisterIf, the server provides the following information:

• Interface specification

  The interface specification is a data structure that the MIDL compiler generates. The server specifies the interface using the IfSpec parameter.

• Manager type UUID and manager EPV

  The manager type UUID and the manager EPV determine which manager routine executes when a server receives a remote procedure call request from a client.

  The server specifies the manager type UUID and EPV using the MgrTypeUuid and MgrEpv parameters. Note that when specifying a non-nil manager-type UUID, the server must also call the RpcObjectSetType function to register objects of this non-nil type.

If your server application needs to register an auto-listen interface or use a callback function for authentication purposes, use RpcServerRegisterIfEx.
