ReleaseNtmsCleanerSlot Function

[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]

The ReleaseNtmsCleanerSlot function removes an existing slot reservation for a cleaning cartridge. The slot can then be used for data cartridges.

  __in  HANDLE hSession,
  __in  LPNTMS_GUID lpLibrary
);

Parameters

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

  • lpLibrary [in]
    Unique identifier of the library to release the cleaner slot.

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.
