IOCTL_HID_GET_REPORT_DESCRIPTOR IOCTL (hidport.h)

The IOCTL_HID_GET_REPORT_DESCRIPTOR request obtains the report descriptor for a HIDClass device.

For general information about HIDClass devices, see HID Collections.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength specifies the length, in bytes, of the locked-down buffer at Irp->UserBuffer.

Input buffer length

The size of OutputBufferLength.

Output buffer

The HID minidriver fills the buffer at Irp->UserBuffer with the report descriptor.

Output buffer length

The size of the report descriptor.

Status block

HID minidrivers that carry out the I/O to the device set the following fields of Irp->IoStatus:

• Information is set to the number of bytes transferred from the device.
• Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the transfer completed without error. Otherwise, it is set to an appropriate NTSTATUS error code.

HID minidrivers that call other drivers with this IOCTL to carry out the I/O to their device, should ensure that the Information field of the status block is correct and not change the contents of the Status field.
