PFNRASRETRIEVEBUFFER callback function (ras.h)

The custom-scripting DLL calls the RasRetrieveBuffer function to obtain data received from the RAS server over the specified port. The custom-scripting DLL should call RasRetrieveBuffer only after RAS has signaled the event object passed in the call to RasReceiveBuffer.

The PFNRASRETRIEVEBUFFER type defines a pointer to this callback function. RasRetrieveBuffer is a placeholder for the application-defined function name.

Syntax

PFNRASRETRIEVEBUFFER Pfnrasretrievebuffer;

DWORD Pfnrasretrievebuffer(
  HANDLE hPort,
  PBYTE pBuffer,
  PDWORD pdwSize
)
{...}

Parameters

hPort

Handle to the port on which to receive the data. This handle should be the handle passed in by RAS as the first parameter of the RasCustomScriptExecute function.

pBuffer

Pointer to a buffer to receive the data from the port specified by the hPort parameter. Obtain this buffer using RasGetBuffer function. The value of this parameter may be the same as the pointer to the buffer passed into the RasReceiveBuffer function.

pdwSize

Pointer to a DWORD variable that receives the size of the data returned in the buffer pointed to by the pBuffer parameter.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following error codes.

RAS signals the event object if the port gets disconnected for some reason before the data is posted. In this case, RasRetrieveBuffer returns an error defined in Raserror.h, that indicates the cause of the failure.

Remarks

The RasRetrieveBuffer function is synchronous. When it returns, the buffer pointed to by the pBuffer parameter contains the data received over the specified port. The custom-scripting DLL should call RasRetrieveBuffer only after RAS has signaled the event object that the DLL passed in the call to RasReceiveBuffer.

The custom-scripting DLL calls RasRetrieveBuffer through a function pointer. The function pointer is passed to the custom-scripting DLL as a parameter when RAS calls the DLL's implementation of RasCustomScriptExecute.
