IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID
This IOCTL returns the current DEVICE_ID structure assigned to the device. A request to retrieve the DEVICE_ID is made by calling the KernelIoControl function with IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID.
Parameters
- dwIoControlCode
[in] Set to IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID to retrieve the DEVICE_ID structure. - lpInBuf
[in] Can be defined by OEMs for their specific purposes. - nInBufSize
[in] Set to the size of the OEM lpInBuf data. - lpOutBuf
[in] Set to the address of an allocated DEVICE_ID structure. - nOutBufSize
[in] Set to the size of the DEVICE_ID structure. - lpBytesReturned
[in] Address of a DWORD that receives the size in bytes of the data returned.
Return Values
If the system has provided support for IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID, returns TRUE for success. If support is not provided for IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID or the request fails, returns FALSE.
Remarks
If FALSE is returned, call GetLastError for information. An ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error indicates that the allocated buffer is too small to store the information. In this case, the content of dwSize of the DEVICE_ID structure is set to the required buffer size. Reallocate the buffer and request the information again. To request the identifier buffer sizes required for the DEVICE_ID structure, set the dwSize member of the DEVICE_ID structure to zero.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 2.10 and later.
Header: Pkfuncs.h.
