NdisCloseAdapter (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This function releases the binding established and the resources allocated when the protocol called the NdisOpenAdapter function.
Syntax
VOID NdisCloseAdapter(
PNDIS_STATUS Status,
NDIS_HANDLE NdisBindingHandle
);
Parameters
- Status
[out] Pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the status of the close operation.
- NdisBindingHandle
[in] Handle returned by NdisOpenAdapter that identifies the virtual adapter or NIC to be closed.
Return Value
The following table shows the values returned from NdisCloseAdapter.
Value |
Description |
---|---|
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS |
The binding is closed, and all resources pertaining to that binding have been released. |
NDIS_STATUS_PENDING |
A close-adapter request is being handled asynchronously, and the caller's ProtocolCloseAdapterComplete function will be called when the close operation is done. |
Remarks
Unlike Microsoft® Windows NT®, Windows Embedded Compact does not unload the miniport driver when there are no more protocol drivers (also known as protocol stacks) bound to it.
As soon as a protocol calls this function, the caller should consider the handle at NdisBindingHandle invalid.
