WSK_CLIENT

  • Article

The WSK_CLIENT data type defines the WSK subsystem's binding context for its attachment to a WSK application.

typedef PVOID PWSK_CLIENT;

PWSK_CLIENT
The contents of the WSK_CLIENT structure are opaque to a WSK application.

Remarks

When a WSK application calls the WskCaptureProviderNPI function, the WSK subsystem returns a pointer to a WSK_CLIENT structure to the WSK application by means of the WskProviderNpi parameter. The WSK subsystem uses this structure to track the state of the binding between the WSK application and the WSK subsystem. A WSK application passes this pointer as a parameter to all the functions in WSK_PROVIDER_DISPATCH (WskControlClient, WskSocket, and WskSocketConnect).
