MesBufferHandleReset function

The MesBufferHandleReset function re-initializes the handle for buffer serialization.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY MesBufferHandleReset(
   handle_t      Handle,
   unsigned long HandleStyle,
   MIDL_ES_CODE  OpCode,
   char          **ppBuffer,
   unsigned long BufferSize,
   unsigned long *pEncodedSize
);

Parameters

Handle

Handle to be initialized.

HandleStyle

Style of Handle. Valid styles are MES_FIXED_BUFFER_HANDLE or MES_DYNAMIC_BUFFER_HANDLE.

OpCode

Operation code. Valid codes are MES_ENCODE, MES_ENCODE_NDR64, or MES_DECODE.

ppBuffer

For MES_DECODE, pointer to a pointer to the buffer containing the data to be decoded.

For MES_ENCODE, pointer to a pointer to the buffer for fixed buffer style, and pointer to a pointer to return the buffer address for dynamic buffer style of serialization.

For MES_ENCODE_NDR64, pointer to a pointer to the buffer for fixed buffer style, and pointer to a pointer to return the buffer address for dynamic buffer style of serialization, but explicitly uses NDR64 to encode the buffer. The user-provided buffer must be aligned to 16.

BufferSize

Bytes of data to be decoded in the buffer. Note that this is used only for the fixed buffer style of serialization.

pEncodedSize

Pointer to the size of the completed encoding. Note that this is used only when the operation is MES_ENCODE or MES_ENCODE_NDR64.

Return value

Remarks

The MesBufferHandleReset routine is used by applications to re-initialize a buffer style handle and save memory allocations.
