AVCSTRM_WRITE
The AVCSTRM_WRITE function code is used to submit a data buffer to be transmitted to the specified stream.
I/O Status Block
If successful, avcstrm.sys sets Irp->IoStatus.Status to STATUS_SUCCESS.
Possible error return values include:
| Error Status | Description |
|---|---|
| STATUS_DEVICE_REMOVED | The device corresponding to the AVCSTRM_READ operation no longer exists. |
| STATUS_CANCELLED | The request was unable to be completed. |
| STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER | A parameter specified in the IRP is incorrect, |
| STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES | There were not sufficient system resources to complete the request. |
| STATUS_PENDING | The request has been received but requires further processing. The I/O completion routine will handle the final response. |
AVC_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK Input
SizeOfThisBlock, Version and Function
Use the INIT_AVCSTRM_HEADER macro to initialize these members. Pass AVCSTRM_WRITE in the Request argument of the macro.
AVCStreamContext
Specifies the stream context (handle) returned by an earlier AVCSTRM_OPEN call that is the target for the data write operation.
BufferStruct
Specifies the buffer the write operation should obtain data from.
A subunit driver must first allocate an IRP and an AVC_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK structure.
Next, it should use the INIT_AVCSTRM_HEADER macro to initialize the AVC_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK structure, passing AVCSTRM_READ as the Request argument to the macro.
Next, the subunit driver sets the AVCStreamContext member to the stream context (handle) of the stream that is the target of the write data operation. Finally, the subunit driver sets the BufferStruct member of the CommandData union that describes the buffer the write operation obtains data from.
To send this request, a subunit submits an IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL IRP with the IoControlCode member of the IRP set to IOCTL_AVCSTRM_CLASS and the Argument1 member of the IRP set to the AVC_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK structure that describes the write operation to take place.
This command completes asynchronously. When it is completed, the I/O completion routine set in the IRP is be called.
This function code must be called at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL.
Comments
This function uses the BufferStruct member of the CommandData union in the AVC_STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK structure as shown below.
