PrlVmDevNet_GetBoundAdapterName Function

Returns the name of the adapter to which the specified virtual adapter is bound.

Syntax

PRL_RESULT PrlVmDevNet_GetBoundAdapterName(
    PRL_HANDLE hVmDev, 
    PRL_STR sBoundAdapterName, 
    PRL_UINT32_PTR pnBoundAdapterNameBufLength
);

File

PrlApiVm.h

Parameters

hVmDev

A handle of type PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_NET_ADAPTER identifying the virtual network adapter.

sBoundAdapterName

[out] Pointer to a buffer that receives the physical adapter name (a UTF-8 encoded, null-terminated string).

pnBoundAdapterNameBufLength

[in] The size of the output buffer (in bytes). Set the buffer pointer to null and this value to zero to receive the required size. [out] The required output buffer size.

Returns

PRL_RESULT. Possible values are:

PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG - invalid handle or null pointer was passed.

PRL_ERR_BUFFER_OVERRUN - the size of the output buffer is not large enough. The parameter that is used to specify the size will contain the required size.

PRL_ERR_SUCCESS - function completed successfully.

Remarks

In a bridged networking mode, a network adapter inside a virtual machine is bound to an adapter on the host. This function allows to retrieve the name of the adapter from the host.
