CM_Get_Sibling_Ex function
[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function has been deprecated. Please use CM_Get_Sibling instead.]
The CM_Get_Sibling_Ex function obtains a device instance handle to the next sibling node of a specified device node, in a local or a remote machine's device tree.
Syntax
CMAPI CONFIGRET WINAPI CM_Get_Sibling_Ex( _Out_ PDEVINST pdnDevInst, _In_ DEVINST DevInst, _In_ ULONG ulFlags, _In_opt_ HMACHINE hMachine );
Parameters
- pdnDevInst [out]
-
Caller-supplied pointer to the device instance handle to the sibling node that this function retrieves. The retrieved handle is bound to the machine handle specified by hMachine.
- DevInst [in]
-
Caller-supplied device instance handle that is bound to the machine handle specified by hMachine.
- ulFlags [in]
-
Not used, must be zero.
- hMachine [in, optional]
-
Caller-supplied machine handle to which the caller-supplied device instance handle is bound.
Note Using this function to access remote machines is not supported beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, as this functionality has been removed.
Return value
If the operation succeeds, the function returns CR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns one of the CR_-prefixed error codes defined in Cfgmgr32.h.
Remarks
To enumerate all children of a device node in the local machine's device tree, first call CM_Get_Child_Ex to obtain a handle to the first child node, then call CM_Get_Sibling_Ex to obtain handles for the rest of the children.
For information about using device instance handles that are bound to a local or a remote machine, see CM_Get_Child_Ex.
Functionality to access remote machines has been removed in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later operating systems thus you cannot access remote machines when running on these versions of Windows.
