WSADATA Structure
The WSADATA structure contains information about the Windows Sockets implementation.
Syntax
typedef struct WSAData {
WORD wVersion;
WORD wHighVersion;
char szDescription[WSADESCRIPTION_LEN+1];
char szSystemStatus[WSASYS_STATUS_LEN+1];
unsigned short iMaxSockets;
unsigned short iMaxUdpDg;
char FAR *lpVendorInfo;
} WSADATA, *LPWSADATA;
Mitglieder
wVersion
Typ: WORDThe version of the Windows Sockets specification that the Ws2_32.dll expects the caller to use. The high-order byte specifies the minor version number; the low-order byte specifies the major version number.
wHighVersion
Typ: WORDThe highest version of the Windows Sockets specification that the Ws2_32.dll can support. The high-order byte specifies the minor version number; the low-order byte specifies the major version number.
This is the same value as the wVersion member when the version requested in the wVersionRequested parameter passed to the WSAStartup function is the highest version of the Windows Sockets specification that the Ws2_32.dll can support.
szDescription
Typ: char[WSADESCRIPTION_LEN+1]A NULL-terminated ASCII string into which the Ws2_32.dll copies a description of the Windows Sockets implementation. The text (up to 256 characters in length) can contain any characters except control and formatting characters. The most likely use that an application would have for this member is to display it (possibly truncated) in a status message.
szSystemStatus
Typ: char[WSASYS_STATUS_LEN+1]A NULL-terminated ASCII string into which the Ws2_32.dll copies relevant status or configuration information. The Ws2_32.dll should use this parameter only if the information might be useful to the user or support staff. This member should not be considered as an extension of the szDescription parameter.
iMaxSockets
Typ: unsigned shortThe maximum number of sockets that may be opened. This member should be ignored for Windows Sockets version 2 and later.
The iMaxSockets member is retained for compatibility with Windows Sockets specification 1.1, but should not be used when developing new applications. No single value can be appropriate for all underlying service providers. The architecture of Windows Sockets changed in version 2 to support multiple providers, and the WSADATA structure no longer applies to a single vendor's stack.
iMaxUdpDg
Typ: unsigned shortThe maximum datagram message size. This member is ignored for Windows Sockets version 2 and later.
The iMaxUdpDg member is retained for compatibility with Windows Sockets specification 1.1, but should not be used when developing new applications. The architecture of Windows Sockets changed in version 2 to support multiple providers, and the WSADATA structure no longer applies to a single vendor's stack. For the actual maximum message size specific to a particular Windows Sockets service provider and socket type, applications should use getsockopt to retrieve the value of option SO_MAX_MSG_SIZE after a socket has been created.
lpVendorInfo
Typ: char FAR*A pointer to vendor-specific information. This member should be ignored for Windows Sockets version 2 and later.
The lpVendorInfo member is retained for compatibility with Windows Sockets specification 1.1. The architecture of Windows Sockets changed in version 2 to support multiple providers, and the WSADATA structure no longer applies to a single vendor's stack. Applications needing to access vendor-specific configuration information should use getsockopt to retrieve the value of option PVD_CONFIG for vendor-specific information.
Hinweise
The WSAStartup function initiates the use of the Windows Sockets DLL by a process. The WSAStartup function returns a pointer to the WSADATA structure in the lpWSAData parameter.
The current version of the Windows Sockets specification returned in the wHighVersion member of the WSADATA structure is version 2.2 encoded with the major version number in the low-byte and the minor version number in the high-byte. This version of the current Winsock DLL, Ws2_32.dll, supports applications that request any of the following versions of the Windows Sockets specification:
- 1.0
- 1.1
- 2.0
- 2.1
- 2.2
Depending on the version requested by the application, one of the above version numbers is the value encoded as the major version number in the low-byte and the minor version number in the high-byte that is returned in the wVersion member of the WSADATA structure.
Hinweis An application should ignore the iMaxsockets, iMaxUdpDg, and lpVendorInfo members in WSADATA if the value in wVersion after a successful call to WSAStartup is at least 2. This is because the architecture of Windows Sockets changed in version 2 to support multiple providers, and WSADATA no longer applies to a single vendor's stack. Two new socket options are introduced to supply provider-specific information: SO_MAX_MSG_SIZE (replaces the iMaxUdpDg member) and PVD_CONFIG (allows any other provider-specific configuration to occur).
Beispiele
The following example demonstrates the use of the WSADATA structure.
WORD wVersionRequested;
WSADATA wsaData;
int err;
wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 );
err = WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData );
if ( err != 0 ) {
/* Tell the user that we could not find a usable */
/* WinSock DLL. */
return;
}
/* Confirm that the WinSock DLL supports 2.2.*/
/* Note that if the DLL supports versions greater */
/* than 2.2 in addition to 2.2, it will still return */
/* 2.2 in wVersion since that is the version we */
/* requested. */
if ( LOBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 2 ||
HIBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 2 ) {
/* Tell the user that we could not find a usable */
/* WinSock DLL. */
WSACleanup( );
return;
}
/* The WinSock DLL is acceptable. Proceed. */
