FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 function (fwpmk.h)
The FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 function registers a callback function that is called whenever there is a change to the state of the filter engine.
Warning
Do not call FwpmBfeStateUnsubscribeChanges0 from the callback function that you passed in the callback parameter. Doing so can cause a deadlock.
Syntax
NTSTATUS FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0(
[in, out] void *deviceObject,
[in] FWPM_SERVICE_STATE_CHANGE_CALLBACK0 callback,
[in, optional] void *context,
[out] HANDLE *changeHandle
);
Parameters
[in, out] deviceObject
A pointer to a device object that was previously created by the callout driver. For more information about how a callout driver creates a device object, see Creating a Device Object.
[in] callback
A pointer to a callout driver-provided service state change callback function. The filter engine calls this function whenever there is a change in the state of the filter engine.
A service-state-change callback function is declared as follows.
VOID NTAPI
callback(
IN OUT void *context,
IN FWPM_SERVICE_STATE newState
);
Context
The pointer that was passed in the Context parameter when the callout driver called the FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 function.
newState
The new state of the filter engine. This parameter contains one of the following values:
FWPM_SERVICE_STOPPED
The filter engine is not running.
FWPM_SERVICE_START_PENDING
The filter engine is starting.
FWPM_SERVICE_STOP_PENDING
The filter engine is stopping.
FWPM_SERVICE_RUNNING
The filter engine is running.
[in, optional] context
A pointer to a callout driver-provided context that is passed to the callback function specified in the Callback parameter.
[out] changeHandle
A pointer to a variable that receives a handle that is associated with the registration of the callback function. A callout driver passes this handle to the FwpmBfeStateUnsubscribeChanges0 function to deregister the callback function.
Return value
The FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 function returns one of the following NTSTATUS codes:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| STATUS_SUCCESS | The callback function was successfully registered. |
| Other NTSTATUS codes | An error occurred. |
Remarks
A callout driver calls the FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 function to register a callback function that is called whenever there is a change to the state of the filter engine.
For example, a callout driver cannot open a session to the filter engine by calling the FwpmEngineOpen0 function unless the filter engine is currently running. A callout driver can use the FWPM_SERVICE_RUNNING notification to open a session to the filter engine so that it can make calls to the other Windows Filtering Platform management functions. Similarly, a callout driver can use the FWPM_SERVICE_STOP_PENDING notification to perform any cleanup before the filter engine is stopped.
A callout driver must call FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 before calling the FwpmBfeStateGet0 function to retrieve the current state of the filter engine. After the call to FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 returns, the callout driver can call FwpmBfeStateGet0 at any time.
A callout driver must deregister the callback function by calling the FwpmBfeStateUnsubscribeChanges0 function before the callout driver can be unloaded.
FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges0 is a specific version of FwpmBfeStateSubscribeChanges. See WFP Version-Independent Names and Targeting Specific Versions of Windows for more information.
