NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory (Windows CE 5.0)
This function returns the virtual address of a buffer within a block of memory shared with a bus master DMA NIC.
VOID teLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory(PVOIDpSharedMemory,UINTLookaheadLength,PVOID* pLookaheadBuffer);
Parameters
- pSharedMemory
[in] Specifies the base address of the shared memory range containing the data for the look-ahead buffer. - LookaheadLength
[in] Specifies the length in bytes for the lookahead buffer. - pLookaheadBuffer
[out] Points to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the virtual address of the lookahead buffer.
Return Values
None.
Remarks
NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory provides a lookahead buffer that is a virtual memory copy of shared memory for miniport receive indications. To bound protocol drivers, such a lookahead buffer represents a read-only version of the shared memory.
This function accommodates system architectures that do not allow the NIC driver to read shared memory on a network interface card directly.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ndis.h.
Link Library: Ndis.lib
