This function retrieves a table of inverted network interface stack row entries that specify the relationship of the network interfaces on an interface stack.

Syntax

NETIOAPI_API
  GetInvertedIfStackTable(
    OUT PMIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE*  Table
    );

Parameters

Table
A pointer to a buffer that receives the table of inverted interface stack row entries in a MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure.

Return Value

GetInvertedIfStackTable returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.

If the function fails, GetInvertedIfStackTable return one of the following error codes:

Error Code	Meaning
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER	An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Table parameter.
STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY	Insufficient memory resources are available to complete the operation.
STATUS_NOT_FOUND	No interface stack entries were found.
Other	Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

The GetInvertedIfStackTable function enumerates the physical and logical network interfaces on an interface stack on a local device and returns this information in an inverted form in the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure.

GetInvertedIfStackTable returns interface stack entries in a MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure in the buffer that the Table parameter points to. The MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure contains an interface stack entry count and an array of MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW structures for each interface stack entry.

The relationship between the interfaces in the interface stack is that the interface with index in the HigherLayerInterfaceIndex member of the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW structure is immediately above the interface with index in the LowerLayerInterfaceIndex member of the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW structure.

GetInvertedIfStackTable allocates memory for the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure and the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW entries in this structure. When these returned structures are no longer required, your driver should free the memory by calling the FreeMibTable (NETIOAPI).

Note that the returned MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure that the Table parameter points to might contain padding for alignment between the NumEntries member and the first MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW array entry in the Table member of the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_TABLE structure. Padding for alignment might also be present between the MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW array entries. Any access to a MIB_INVERTEDIFSTACK_ROW array entry should assume padding might exist.
