MIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID structure (udpmib.h)

The MIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID structure contains an entry from the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) listener table for IPv6 on the local computer. The entry also includes the process ID (PID) that issued the call to the bind function for the UDP endpoint.

Syntax

typedef struct _MIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID {
  UCHAR ucLocalAddr[16];
  DWORD dwLocalScopeId;
  DWORD dwLocalPort;
  DWORD dwOwningPid;
} MIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID, *PMIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID;

Members

ucLocalAddr[16]

The IPv6 address for the local UDP endpoint. This member is stored in a character array in network byte order.

A value of zero indicates a UDP listener willing to accept datagrams for any IP interface associated with the local computer.

dwLocalScopeId

The scope ID for the IPv6 address of the UDP endpoint on the local computer. This member is stored in network byte order.

dwLocalPort

The port number of the UDP endpoint on the local computer. This member is stored in network byte order.

dwOwningPid

The PID of the process that issued a context bind for this endpoint. If this value is set to 0, the information for this endpoint is unavailable.

Remarks

The MIB_UDP6TABLE_OWNER_PID structure is returned by a call to GetExtendedUdpTable with the TableClass parameter set to a UDP_TABLE_OWNER_PID from the UDP_TABLE_CLASS enumeration and the ulAf parameter set to AF_INET6. The MIB_UDP6TABLE_OWNER_PID structure contains an array of MIB_UDP6ROW_OWNER_PID structures.

The ucLocalAddr member is stored in a character array in network byte order. On Windows Vista and later, the RtlIpv6AddressToString or RtlIpv6AddressToStringEx functions may be used to convert the IPv6 address in the ucLocalAddr member to a string without loading the Windows Sockets DLL.

The dwLocalScopeId member is in network byte order. In order to use the dwLocalScopeId member, the ntohl or inet_ntoa functions in Windows Sockets or similar functions may be needed.

The dwLocalPort member are in network byte order. In order to use the dwLocalPort member, the ntohs or inet_ntoa functions in Windows Sockets or similar functions may be needed.

The MIB_UDP6TABLE_OWNER_PID structure contains the UDP listener table for IPv6 on the local computer. The name is based on the definition of this table in RFC 2454 published by the IETF. For more information, see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2454.txt. This table contains UDP endpoints for IPv6 that have been bound to an address. It should be noted that an application can create a UDP socket and bind it to an address for the sole purpose of sending a UDP datagram, with no intention of receiving packets using this socket (functioning as a listener).

On the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) released for Windows Vista and later, the organization of header files has changed. This structure is defined in the Udpmib.h header file, not in the Iprtrmib.h header file. Note that the Udpmib.h header file is automatically included in Iprtrmib.h, which is automatically included in the Iphlpapi.h header file. The Udpmib.h and Iprtrmib.h header files should never be used directly.
