NPGetConnection function (npapi.h)

Retrieves information about a connection.

Syntax

DWORD NPGetConnection(
  [in]      LPWSTR  lpLocalName,
  [out]     LPWSTR  lpRemoteName,
  [in, out] LPDWORD lpnBufferLen
);

Parameters

[in] lpLocalName

Pointer to the name of the local device the caller is interested in. The network provider can assume this name is syntactically valid.

[out] lpRemoteName

Pointer to a buffer that will receive the remote name used to make the connection. This buffer is allocated by the caller.

[in, out] lpnBufferLen

Pointer to the size, in characters, of the lpRemoteName buffer. If the call fails because the buffer is not big enough, lpBufferSize is set to the required buffer size.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it should return WN_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it should return an error code, which can be one of the following:

Remarks

The NPGetConnection function can return information only about a network connection that is currently connected. To retrieve information about a network connection that is currently disconnected, use NPGetConnection3.
