NdisCopyLookaheadData (Windows CE 5.0)
This function safely copies receive data indicated in a look-ahead buffer to the transport protocol by the underlying NDIS driver.
VOID NdisCopyLookaheadData(PVOIDDestination,PVOIDSource,ULONGLength,ULONGMacOptions);
Parameters
- Destination
[in] Points to a caller-supplied buffer into which to copy the data. - Source
[in] Points to the source buffer from which to copy the data. - Length
[in] Specifies how many bytes of data to copy. - MacOptions
[in] Specifies a combination (ORed) of flags, which should be identical to the bit mask that the underlying driver returned in response to the protocol's binding-time call to NdisRequest with the OID_GEN_MAC_OPTIONS query.
Return Values
None.
Remarks
A transport's ProtocolReceive function can call NdisCopyLookaheadData to copy receive data from a look-ahead buffer indicated by the underlying NIC driver. In particular, NdisCopyLookaheadData must be called if the underlying NIC driver did not set the NDIS_MAC_OPTION_COPY_LOOKAHEAD_DATA flag in response to the transport's OID_GEN_MAC_OPTIONS query.
However, NdisCopyLookaheadData can be called by any NDIS driver's ProtocolReceive function, whatever the nature of the receive buffers on the underlying NIC.
Any driver that exports a ProtocolReceive function can call NdisCopyLookaheadData.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ndis.h.
