NdisFreeTimerObject function (ndis.h)

Article
02/22/2024

The NdisFreeTimerObject function frees a timer object that was allocated with the NdisAllocateTimerObject function.

Syntax

void NdisFreeTimerObject(
  [in] NDIS_HANDLE TimerObject
);

Parameters

[in] TimerObject

A handle to a timer object that NDIS provides when a driver calls the NdisAllocateTimerObject function.

Return value

None

Remarks

To use timer services, an NDIS driver first calls the NdisAllocateTimerObject function to initialize a timer object. Typically, NdisAllocateTimerObject is called when a driver initializes. The driver must call NdisFreeTimerObject to free the timer object when the timer is no longer required.

To cancel a timer, call the NdisCancelTimerObject function. NdisCancelTimerObject dequeues the timer object if it is currently queued.
