ZwPowerInformation function (ntddk.h)
The ZwPowerInformation routine sets or retrieves system power information.
Syntax
NTSYSAPI NTSTATUS ZwPowerInformation(
[in] POWER_INFORMATION_LEVEL InformationLevel,
[in, optional] PVOID InputBuffer,
[in] ULONG InputBufferLength,
[out, optional] PVOID OutputBuffer,
[in] ULONG OutputBufferLength
);
Parameters
[in] InformationLevel
Specifies the requested information level, which indicates the specific power information to be set or retrieved. Currently, the only supported POWER_INFORMATION_LEVEL value is PlatformInformation.
[in, optional] InputBuffer
Pointer to a caller-allocated input buffer. This parameter must be NULL, otherwise ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
[in] InputBufferLength
Size, in bytes, of the buffer at InputBuffer. The parameter must be set to zero.
[out, optional] OutputBuffer
A pointer to an output buffer. The data type of this buffer depends on the information level requested in the InformationLevel parameter. For the PlatformInformation level, the only currently supported value, the OutputBuffer parameter is required and should be of the POWER_PLATFORM_INFORMATION type.
[in] OutputBufferLength
Size, in bytes, of the output buffer. Depending on the information level requested, the buffer may be variably sized. PlatformInformation, the only currently supported value, requires a buffer that is the size of a POWER_PLATFORM_INFORMATION structure.
Return value
Returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the call is successful. If the call fails, possible error codes include the following:
Return code | Description |
---|---|
|
The output buffer is of insufficient size to contain the data being returned. |
|
The PlatformInformation information level, which is the only currently supported value, requires no input buffer and must contain an output buffer. The caller either supplied an input buffer or no output buffer. |
|
The caller had insufficient access rights to perform the requested action. |
Remarks
NtPowerInformation and ZwPowerInformation are two versions of the same Windows Native System Services routine.
For calls from kernel-mode drivers, the NtXxx and ZwXxx versions of a Windows Native System Services routine can behave differently in the way that they handle and interpret input parameters. For more information about the relationship between the NtXxx and ZwXxx versions of a routine, see Using Nt and Zw Versions of the Native System Services Routines.
Examples
This example illustrates a valid function call.
POWER_PLATFORM_INFORMATION PlatformInfo = {0};
NTSTATUS Result = NtPowerInformation(PlatformInformation, NULL, 0, &PlatformInfo, sizeof(PlatformInfo));
