GetIfTable

  • Article

The GetIfTable function retrieves the MIB-II interface table.

DWORD GetIfTable (
PMIB_IFTABLE pIfTable // buffer for interface table 
PULONG pdwSize // size of buffer
BOOL bOrder // sort the table by index? );

Parameters

  • pIfTable
    Pointer to a buffer that, on successful return, contains the interface table as a MIB_IFTABLE structure.
  • pdwSize
    Specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by the pIfTable parameter. If the buffer is not large enough to hold the returned interface table, the function sets this parameter equal to the required buffer size.
  • bOrder
    Specifies whether the returned interface table should be sorted in ascending order by interface index. If this parameter is TRUE, the table is sorted.
