VideoPortLockBuffer function (video.h)

  • Article

The VideoPortLockBuffer function probes the specified buffer, makes the buffer's memory pages resident in memory, and locks the physical pages mapped by the virtual address range.

Syntax

VIDEOPORT_DEPRECATED VIDEOPORT_API PVOID VideoPortLockBuffer(
  [in] IN PVOID             HwDeviceExtension,
  [in] IN PVOID             BaseAddress,
  [in] IN ULONG             Length,
  [in] IN VP_LOCK_OPERATION Operation
);
