WSAGetServiceClassNameByClassIdA function (winsock2.h)

  • Article

The WSAGetServiceClassNameByClassId function retrieves the name of the service associated with the specified type. This name is the generic service name, like FTP or SNA, and not the name of a specific instance of that service.

Syntax

INT WSAAPI WSAGetServiceClassNameByClassIdA(
  [in]      LPGUID  lpServiceClassId,
  [out]     LPSTR   lpszServiceClassName,
  [in, out] LPDWORD lpdwBufferLength
);

Parameters

[in] lpServiceClassId

A pointer to the GUID for the service class.

[out] lpszServiceClassName

A pointer to the service name.

[in, out] lpdwBufferLength

On input, the length of the buffer returned by lpszServiceClassName, in characters. On output, the length of the service name copied into lpszServiceClassName, in characters.

Return value

The WSAGetServiceClassNameByClassId function returns a value of zero if successful. Otherwise, the value SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error number can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.

Remarks

Note

The winsock2.h header defines WSAGetServiceClassNameByClassId 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.
