NdisCloseAdapter (Windows CE 5.0)
This function releases the binding established and the resources allocated when the protocol called the NdisOpenAdapter function.
VOID NdisCloseAdapter(PNDIS_STATUSStatus,NDIS_HANDLENdisBindingHandle);
Parameters
- Status
[out] Pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the status of the close operation. - NdisBindingHandle
[in] Handle returned by NdisOpenAdapter that identifies the virtual adapter or NIC to be closed.
Return Values
The following table shows the values returned from NdisCloseAdapter.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS | The binding is closed, and all resources pertaining to that binding have been released. |
| NDIS_STATUS_PENDING | A close-adapter request is being handled asynchronously, and the caller's ProtocolCloseAdapterComplete function will be called when the close operation is done. |
Remarks
Unlike Microsoft® Windows NT®, Windows CE does not unload the miniport driver when there are no more protocol drivers (also known as protocol stacks) bound to it.
As soon as a protocol calls this function, the caller should consider the handle at NdisBindingHandle invalid.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
