NotifyIpInterfaceChange (NETIOAPI) (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

This function registers the driver to be notified for changes to all IP interfaces, IPv4 interfaces, or IPv6 interfaces on a local device.

Syntax

NETIOAPI_API
  NotifyIpInterfaceChange(
    IN ADDRESS_FAMILY  Family,
    IN PIPINTERFACE_CHANGE_CALLBACK  Callback,
    IN PVOID  CallerContext,
    IN BOOLEAN  InitialNotification,
    IN OUT HANDLE*  NotificationHandle
    );

Parameters

  • Family
    The address family to register the driver for change notifications on.

    Possible values for the address family are listed in the Winsock2.h header file. Note that the values for the AF_ address family and PF_ protocol family constants are identical (for example, AF_INET and PF_INET). Therefore, you can use either constant.

    Possible values for the Family parameter are defined in the Ws2def.h header file. Note that the Ws2def.h header file is automatically included in Netioapi.h and you should never use Ws2def.h directly.

    The following values are currently supported for the address family:

    • AF_UNSPEC
      The address family is unspecified. When this value is specified, this function registers the driver to be notified for both IPv4 and IPv6 changes.
    • AF_INET
      The IPv4 address family. When this value is specified, this function registers the driver to be notified only for IPv4 change notifications.
    • AF_INET6
      The IPv6 address family. When this value is specified, this function registers the driver for only IPv6 change notifications.
  • Callback
    A pointer to the function to call when a change occurs. This function is called when an interface notification is received.
  • CallerContext
    A user context that is passed to the callback function that is specified in the Callback parameter when an interface notification is received.
  • InitialNotification
    A pointer that is used to return a handle that your driver can later use to deregister the driver change notification. On success, a notification handle is returned in this parameter. If an error occurs, NULL is returned.
  • NotificationHandle
    A pointer to a MIB_IPINTERFACE_ROW structure to initialize. On successful return, the members in this structure are initialized with default information for an interface on the local device.

Return Value

NotifyIpInterfaceChange returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.

If the function fails, NotifyIpInterfaceChange returns one of the following error codes:

Error Code

Meaning

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

An internal error occurred where an invalid handle was encountered.

STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if the Family parameter was not AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNSPEC.

STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

There was insufficient memory.

Other

Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

Your driver must set the Family parameter to AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNSPEC.

The invocation of the callback function that is specified in the Callback parameter is serialized. The callback function should be defined as a function of type VOID. The parameters that are passed to the callback function include the following.

Parameter

Description

IN PVOID CallerContext

The CallerContext parameter that is passed to the NotifyIpInterfaceChange function when it is registering the driver for change notifications.

IN PMIB_IPINTERFACE_ROW Row OPTIONAL

A pointer to the MIB_IPINTERFACE_ROW entry for the interface that was changed. This parameter is a NULL pointer when the MIB_NOTIFICATION_TYPE value that is passed in the NotificationType parameter to the callback function is set to MibInitialNotification. This situation can occur only if the InitialNotification parameter that is passed to NotifyIpInterfaceChange was set to TRUE when registering the driver for change notifications.

IN MIB_NOTIFICATION_TYPE NotificationType

The notification type. This member can be one of the values from the MIB_NOTIFICATION_TYPE enumeration type.

To deregister the driver for change notifications, call the CancelMibChangeNotify2 (NETIOAPI) function, passing the NotificationHandle parameter that NotifyIpInterfaceChange returns.
