GetUnicastIpAddressTable (NETIOAPI) (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
This function retrieves the unicast IP address table on a local device.
Syntax
NETIOAPI_API
GetUnicastIpAddressTable(
IN ADDRESS_FAMILY Family,
OUT PMIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE* Table
);
Parameters
Family
The address family to retrieve.Possible values for the address family are listed in the Winsock2.h header file. Note that the values for the AF_ address family and PF_ protocol family constants are identical (for example, AF_INET and PF_INET), so you can use either constant.
Possible values for the Family parameter are defined in the Ws2def.h header file. Note that the Ws2def.h header file is automatically included in Netioapi.h and you should never use Ws2def.h directly.
The following values are currently supported for the address family:
- AF_UNSPEC
The address family is unspecified. When this value is specified, this function returns the multicast IP address table that contains both IPv4 and IPv6 entries.
- AF_INET
The IPv4 address family. When this value is specified, this function returns the multicast IP address table that contains only IPv4 entries.
- AF_INET6
The IPv6 address family. When this value is specified, this function returns the multicast IP address table that contains only IPv6 entries.
- AF_UNSPEC
- Table
A pointer to a MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure that contains a table of unicast IP address entries on the local device.
Return Value
Error Code | Meaning |
---|---|
STATUS_SUCCESS |
The function succeeds. |
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER |
An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Table parameter or the Family parameter was not specified as AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNSPEC. |
STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY |
Insufficient memory resources are available to complete the operation. |
STATUS_NOT_FOUND |
No unicast IP address entries, as specified in the Family parameter, were found. |
STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED |
The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is located on the local device and AF_INET was specified in the Family parameter, or if no IPv6 stack is located on the local device and AF_INET6 was specified in the Family parameter. This error is also returned on versions of Windows where this function is not supported. |
Other |
Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error. |
Remarks
The GetUnicastIpAddressTable function enumerates the unicast IP addresses on a local device and returns this information in an MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure.
GetUnicastIpAddressTable returns the unicast IP address entries in a MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure in the buffer that the Table parameter points to. The MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure contains a unicast IP address entry count and an array of MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structures for each unicast IP address entry. When these returned structures are no longer required, your driver should free the memory by calling the FreeMibTable (NETIOAPI).
Your driver must initialize the Family parameter to either AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNSPEC.
Note that the returned MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure that the Table parameter points to might contain padding for alignment between the NumEntries member and the first MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW array entry in the Table member of the MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE structure. Padding for alignment might also be present between the MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW array entries. Any access to a MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW array entry should assume padding might exist.
