KsInitializeDevice function (ks.h)
The KsInitializeDevice function is called by AVStream to initialize the AVStream device class from within KsCreateDevice.
Syntax
KSDDKAPI NTSTATUS KsInitializeDevice(
[in] PDEVICE_OBJECT FunctionalDeviceObject,
[in] PDEVICE_OBJECT PhysicalDeviceObject,
[in] PDEVICE_OBJECT NextDeviceObject,
[in, optional] const KSDEVICE_DESCRIPTOR *Descriptor
);
Parameters
[in] FunctionalDeviceObject
A pointer to a DEVICE_OBJECT structure representing the WDM functional device object for the device being initialized.
Normally, this is returned from an IoCreateDevice call. Minidrivers calling this function directly are responsible for calling IoCreateDevice and attaching themselves to the device stack.
[in] PhysicalDeviceObject
A pointer to a DEVICE_OBJECT structure representing the WDM physical device object for the device being initialized.
[in] NextDeviceObject
A pointer to the next DEVICE_OBJECT structure in the device stack as determined by a call to IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack.
[in, optional] Descriptor
A pointer to a KSDEVICE_DESCRIPTOR structure that describes the characteristics of the device being initialized. If this parameter is NULL, the device is initialized with the default characteristics and has no associated filter factories.
Return value
KsInitializeDevice returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the device was successfully initialized. Otherwise, it returns an appropriate error code.
Remarks
Most minidrivers do not call this function directly. Only call KsInitializeDevice if your minidriver does not use KsInitializeDriver for initialization, handles AddDevice independently, and does not use KsAddDevice or KsCreateDevice in its AddDevice handler.
