GetNPPBlobTable

  • Article

The GetNPPBlobTable function retrieves an NPP BLOB table that represents the register NICs on the local computer.

DWORDGetNPPBlobTable(HBLOBhFilterBlob,
PBLOB_TABLE*ppBlobTable);

Parameters

  • hFilterBlob
    [in] Handle to a filter BLOB that limits the NPP BLOBs returned in the table.
  • ppBlobTable
    [out] Pointer to a BLOB_TABLE structure that contains at least one BLOB pointer.

Return Values

If the function is successful, the return value is NMERR_SUCCESS.

If the function is unsuccessful, the return value is one of the following error codes:

Return code Description
NMERR_NO_NPP_DLL No DLLs were found in the NPP directory.
NMERR_NO_VALID_NPP_DLLS None of the DLLs in the NPP directory were valid NPP DLLs.
NMERR_NO_MATCHING_NPPS NPP BLOBs were discovered, but none passed the filter test.
NMERR_OUT_OF_MEMOR Network Monitor was not able to allocate memory.

Remarks

The BLOB named by hFilterBlob can also be a special BLOB.

If you set the flag in the filter BLOB to TRUE, the returned BLOB table can also include special BLOBs .

If the BLOB named by hFilterBlob is a special BLOB, the Network Monitor UI will attempt to process it. For example, suppose that a previous call returns a special BLOB from the remote NPP. The application inserts the required tag, MACHINE_NAME. The finder then passes this BLOB to the remote NPP, which then returns a table of the NPP BLOBs associated with the machine name.

To destroy all returned BLOBs and the BLOB table, the caller is responsible for calling the DestroyBlob function.
