RpcObjectInqType function

The RpcObjectInqType function returns the type of an object.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcObjectInqType(
   UUID *ObjUuid,
   UUID *TypeUuid
);

Parameters

ObjUuid

Pointer to the object UUID whose associated type UUID is returned.

TypeUuid

Returns a pointer to the type UUID of the ObjUuid parameter.

Specify a parameter value of NULL to prevent the return of a type UUID. In this way, an application can determine (from the returned status) whether ObjUuid is registered without specifying an output type UUID variable.

Return value

Remarks

A server application calls RpcObjectInqType to obtain the type UUID of an object. If the object was registered with the RPC run-time library using the RpcObjectSetType function, the registered type is returned.

Optionally, an application can privately maintain an object/type registration. In this case, if the application has provided an object inquiry function (see under RpcObjectSetInqFn). The RPC run-time library uses that function to determine an object's type.

The RpcObjectInqType function obtains the type UUID as described in the following table.
