Using NMR for WSK Registration and Unregistration

The Registering a Winsock Kernel Application and Unregistering a Winsock Kernel Application sections describe how a WSK application can attach to and detach from the WSK subsystem by using the WSK registration functions. However, WSK can also attach to the WSK subsystem by using the Network Module Registrar (NMR).

A WSK application can register itself with the NMR as a client of the WSK Network Programming Interface (NPI) by using the procedures in the following sections:

• Initializing NMR Data Structures
• Attaching the WSK Client to the WSK Subsystem
• Unregistering and Unloading the WSK Client

Using the WskRegister and WskDeregister functions is the preferred method for registering and unregistering WSK applications. The Network Module Registrar remains available for compatibility.
