NetServerTransportEnum function (lmserver.h)

The NetServerTransportEnum function supplies information about transport protocols that are managed by the server.

Syntax

NET_API_STATUS NET_API_FUNCTION NetServerTransportEnum(
  [in]      LMSTR   servername,
  [in]      DWORD   level,
  [out]     LPBYTE  *bufptr,
  [in]      DWORD   prefmaxlen,
  [out]     LPDWORD entriesread,
  [out]     LPDWORD totalentries,
  [in, out] LPDWORD resume_handle
);

Parameters

[in] servername

Pointer to a string that specifies the DNS or NetBIOS name of the remote server on which the function is to execute. If this parameter is NULL, the local computer is used.

[in] level

Specifies the information level of the data. This parameter can be one of the following values.

[out] bufptr

Pointer to the buffer that receives the data. The format of this data depends on the value of the level parameter. This buffer is allocated by the system and must be freed using the NetApiBufferFree function. Note that you must free the buffer even if the function fails with ERROR_MORE_DATA.

[in] prefmaxlen

Specifies the preferred maximum length of returned data, in bytes. If you specify MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH, the function allocates the amount of memory required for the data. If you specify another value in this parameter, it can restrict the number of bytes that the function returns. If the buffer size is insufficient to hold all entries, the function returns ERROR_MORE_DATA. For more information, see Network Management Function Buffers and Network Management Function Buffer Lengths.

[out] entriesread

Pointer to a value that receives the count of elements actually enumerated.

[out] totalentries

Pointer to a value that receives the total number of entries that could have been enumerated from the current resume position. Note that applications should consider this value only as a hint.

[in, out] resume_handle

Pointer to a value that contains a resume handle which is used to continue an existing server transport search. The handle should be zero on the first call and left unchanged for subsequent calls. If this parameter is NULL, no resume handle is stored.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is NERR_Success.

If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following error codes.

Remarks

Only Authenticated Users can successfully call this function.Windows XP/2000:  No special group membership is required to successfully execute this function.

Examples

The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve information about transport protocols that are managed by the server, using a call to the NetServerTransportEnum function. The sample calls NetServerTransportEnum, specifying information level 0 ( SERVER_TRANSPORT_INFO_0). The sample prints the name of each transport protocol and the total number enumerated. Finally, the code sample frees the memory allocated for the information buffer.
