ERROR_CAN_NOT_COMPLETE

The request could not be completed. This is an internal error.

ERROR_INVALID_DATA

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the pIfRow parameter.

ERROR_NOT_FOUND

The specified interface could not be found. This error is returned if the network interface index specified by the dwIndex member of the MIB_IFROW structure pointed to by the pIfRow parameter could not be found.

Remarks

The GetIfEntry function retrieves information for an interface on a local device.

The dwIndex member in the MIB_IFROW structure pointed to by the pIfRow parameter must be initialized to a valid network interface index retrieved by a previous call to the GetIfTable, GetIfTable2, or GetIfTable2Ex function.

The GetIfEntry function will fail if the dwIndex member of the MIB_IFROW pointed to by the pIfRow parameter does not match an existing interface index on the local device.
