IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE IOCTL (hidclass.h)

  • Article

The IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE request returns a feature report associated with a top-level collection.

For general information about HIDClass devices, see HID Collections.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

The Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength member specifies the size, in bytes, of a requester-allocated output buffer. The HID class driver uses this buffer to return a feature report.

If the collection includes report IDs, the requester must set the first byte of the output buffer to a nonzero report ID. Otherwise, the requester must set the first byte of the output buffer to zero.

Minidriver handling

Irp->UserBuffer points to a HID_XFER_PACKET structure that the HID class driver uses to input the following members:

Input buffer length

The size of the buffer in bytes. The buffer must be large enough to hold the feature report plus one additional byte that specifies a nonzero report ID. If report ID is not used, the ID value is zero.

Minidriver handling

The size of the HID_XFER_PACKET structure.

Output buffer

The Irp->MdlAddress member points to the requester-allocated output buffer that the HID class driver uses to return the feature report. The first byte of the buffer, which the requester uses to input a report ID or zero, is unchanged. The feature report, excluding its report ID, if report IDs are used, is returned at ((PUCHAR)Irp->MdlAddress + 1).

Minidriver handling

((PHID_XFER_PACKET)(Irp->UserBuffer))->reportBuffer points to the requester-allocated output buffer that the HID minidriver uses to return a feature report.

Output buffer length

The length of the buffer that contains the report.

Minidriver handling

The size of the HID_XFER_PACKET structure.

Status block

The HID class driver sets the following fields of Irp->IoStatus:

  • Information is set to the number of bytes transferred from the device.
  • Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the transfer completed without error. Otherwise, it is set to an appropriate NTSTATUS error code.

Minidriver handling

HID minidrivers that carry out the I/O to the device set the following fields of Irp->IoStatus:

  • Information is set to the number of bytes transferred from the device.
  • Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the transfer completed without error. Otherwise, it is set to an appropriate NTSTATUS error code.

HID minidrivers that call other drivers with this IOCTL to carry out the I/O to their device, should ensure that the Information field of the status block is correct and not change the contents of the Status field.
