3/26/2014

This structure provides relevant information about a given service, including service class ID, service name, applicable name-space identifier and protocol information, as well as a set of transport addresses at which the service listens.

Syntax

typedef struct _WSAQuerySet {
  DWORD dwSize;
  LPTSTR lpszServiceInstanceName;
  LPGUID lpServiceClassId;
  LPWSAVERSION lpVersion;
  LPTSTR lpszComment;
  DWORD dwNameSpace;
  LPGUID lpNSProviderId;
  LPTSTR lpszContext;
  DWORD dwNumberOfProtocols;
  LPAFPROTOCOLS lpafpProtocols;
  LPTSTR lpszQueryString;
  DWORD dwNumberOfCsAddrs;
  LPCSADDR_INFO lpcsaBuffer;
  DWORD dwOutputFlags;
  LPBLOB lpBlob;
} WSAQUERYSET, *PWSAQUERYSETW;

Members

  • dwSize
    Must be set to sizeof(WSAQUERYSET). This is a versioning mechanism.
  • lpszServiceInstanceName
    (Optional) Referenced string contains service name. The semantics for using wildcards within the string are not defined, but can be supported by certain name space providers.
  • lpServiceClassId
    (Required) The GUID corresponding to the service class.
  • lpVersion
    (Optional) References desired version number and provides version comparison semantics (that is, version must match exactly, or version must be not less than the value supplied).
  • lpszComment
    Ignored for queries.
  • dwNameSpace
    Identifier of a single name space in which to constrain the search, or NS_ALL to include all name spaces.
  • lpNSProviderId
    (Optional) References the GUID of a specific name-space provider, and limits the query to this provider only.
  • lpszContext
    (Optional) Specifies the starting point of the query in a hierarchical name space.
  • dwNumberOfProtocols
    Size of the protocol constraint array, can be zero.
  • lpafpProtocols
    (Optional) References an array of AFPROTOCOLS structure. Only services that utilize these protocols will be returned.
  • lpszQueryString
    (Optional)Some name spaces (such as Whois++) support enriched SQL-like queries that are contained in a simple text string. This parameter is used to specify that string.
  • dwNumberOfCsAddrs
    Ignored for queries.
  • lpcsaBuffer
    Ignored for queries.
  • dwOutputFlags
    Ignored for queries.
  • lpBlob
    (Optional)This is a pointer to a provider-specific entity.

Remarks

In most instances, applications interested in only a particular transport protocol should constrain their query by address family and protocol rather than by name space. This would allow an application that needs to locate a TCP/IP service, for example, to have its query processed by all available name spaces such as the local hosts file, DNS, and NIS.
