RpcNsMgmtEntryInqIfIdsA function (rpcnsi.h)

  • Article

The RpcNsMgmtEntryInqIfIds function returns the list of interfaces exported to a name service–database entry. It also returns an interface-identification vector containing the interfaces of binding handles exported by a server to EntryName. This function uses an expiration age of 0, causing an immediate update of the local copy of name-service data.

Note  This function is not supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems.

Remarks

The RpcNsMgmtEntryInqIfIds function returns an interface-identification vector containing the interfaces of binding handles exported by a server to EntryName. This function uses an expiration age of 0, causing an immediate update of the local copy of name-service data. The calling application is responsible for calling the RpcIfIdVectorFree function to release memory used by the vector.

Note

The rpcnsi.h header defines RpcNsMgmtEntryInqIfIds as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
