BCryptEnumContextFunctions function (bcrypt.h)

The BCryptEnumContextFunctions function obtains the cryptographic functions for a context in the specified configuration table.

Syntax

NTSTATUS BCryptEnumContextFunctions(
  [in]      ULONG                    dwTable,
  [in]      LPCWSTR                  pszContext,
  [in]      ULONG                    dwInterface,
  [in, out] ULONG                    *pcbBuffer,
  [in, out] PCRYPT_CONTEXT_FUNCTIONS *ppBuffer
);

Parameters

[in] dwTable

Identifies the configuration table from which to retrieve the context functions. This can be one of the following values.

[in] pszContext

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the identifier of the context to enumerate the functions for.

[in] dwInterface

Identifies the cryptographic interface to retrieve the functions for. This can be one of the following values.

[in, out] pcbBuffer

The address of a ULONG variable that, on entry, contains the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by ppBuffer. If this size is not large enough to hold the set of context identifiers, this function will fail with STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.

After this function returns, this value contains the number of bytes that were copied to the ppBuffer buffer.

[in, out] ppBuffer

The address of a pointer to a CRYPT_CONTEXT_FUNCTIONS structure that receives the set of context functions retrieved by this function. The value pointed to by the pcbBuffer parameter contains the size of this buffer.

If the value pointed to by this parameter is NULL, this function will allocate the required memory. This memory must be freed when it is no longer needed by passing this pointer to the BCryptFreeBuffer function.

If this parameter is NULL, this function will place the required size, in bytes, in the variable pointed to by the pcbBuffer parameter and return STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.

Return value

Returns a status code that indicates the success or failure of the function.

Possible return codes include, but are not limited to, the following.

Remarks

BCryptEnumContextFunctions can be called only in user mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the BCryptEnumContextFunctions function to enumerate the key storage functions for all contexts in the local-machine configuration table.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Bcrypt.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "Bcrypt.lib")

#ifndef NT_SUCCESS
#define NT_SUCCESS(Status) ((NTSTATUS)(Status) >= 0)
#endif

NTSTATUS EnumContextFunctions()
{
    NTSTATUS status;
    ULONG uSize = 0;
    PCRYPT_CONTEXTS pContexts = NULL;
    
    // Get the contexts for the local machine. 
    // CNG will allocate the memory for us.
    status = BCryptEnumContexts(CRYPT_LOCAL, &uSize, &pContexts);
    if(NT_SUCCESS(status))
    {
        // Enumerate the context identifiers.
        for(ULONG uContextIndex = 0; 
            uContextIndex < pContexts->cContexts; 
            uContextIndex++)
        {
            wprintf(L"Context functions for %s:\n", 
                pContexts->rgpszContexts[uContextIndex]);

            // Get the functions for this context.
            // CNG will allocate the memory for us.
            PCRYPT_CONTEXT_FUNCTIONS pContextFunctions = NULL;
            status = BCryptEnumContextFunctions(
                CRYPT_LOCAL, 
                pContexts->rgpszContexts[uContextIndex], 
                NCRYPT_SCHANNEL_INTERFACE,

                &pContextFunctions);
            if(NT_SUCCESS(status))
            {
                // Enumerate the functions.
                for(ULONG i = 0; 
                    i < pContextFunctions->cFunctions; 
                    i++)
                {
                    wprintf(L"\t%s\n", 
                        pContextFunctions->rgpszFunctions[i]);
                }

                // Free the context functions buffer.
                BCryptFreeBuffer(pContextFunctions);
            }
        }

        // Free the contexts buffer.
        BCryptFreeBuffer(pContexts);
    }

    return status;
