Operations Plug-in Entry Points
An operations plug-in needs to implement certain entry points depending on the capabilities that it wants to support.
A plug-in must register with the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service, which contains the names of the plug-in DLL entry points. All operations have predefined DLL entry points that must be exposed if that operation is supported.
The following table provides an overview of the operations plug-in entry points in the WinRM Plug-in API.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_COMMAND | Defines the command callback for a plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins that support shell capabilities need to implement this callback. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginCommand. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_CONNECT | Defines the connect callback for a plug-in. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginConnect. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_RECEIVE | Defines the receive callback for a plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins that support shell capabilities need to implement this callback. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginReceive. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_RELEASE_COMMAND_CONTEXT | Defines the release command callback for the plug-in. The DLL entry point name must be WSManPluginReleaseCommandContext. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_RELEASE_SHELL_CONTEXT | Defines the release shell callback for the plug-in. The DLL entry point name must be WSManPluginReleaseCommandContext. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_SEND | Defines the send callback for a plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins that support shell capabilities need to implement this callback. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginSend. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_SHELL | Defines the shell callback for a plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins that support shell capabilities need to implement this callback. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginShell. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_SHUTDOWN | Defines the shutdown callback for the plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins must implement this callback function. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginShutdown. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_SIGNAL | Defines the signal callback for a plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins that support shell capabilities need to implement this callback. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginSignal. |
| WSMAN_PLUGIN_STARTUP | Defines the startup callback for the plug-in. All WinRM plug-ins must implement this callback function. The DLL entry point name for this method must be WSManPluginStartup. |
