The RpcNsEntryObjectInqNext function returns one object at a time from a name-service database entry.

Note This function is not supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems.

RPC_STATUS RpcNsEntryObjectInqNext(
  RPC_NS_HANDLE InquiryContext,
  UUID          *ObjUuid
);

Parameters

InquiryContext

Name-service handle that indicates the object UUIDs for a name-service database entry.

ObjUuid

Returns a pointer to an exported object UUID.

Return value

Value	Meaning
RPC_S_OK	The call succeeded.
RPC_S_NO_MORE_MEMBERS	No more members.

Remarks

The RpcNsEntryObjectInqNext function returns one of the object UUIDs exported to the name-service database entry specified by the EntryName parameter in the RpcNsEntryObjectInqBegin function.

An application can view all of the exported object UUIDs by repeatedly calling RpcNsEntryObjectInqNext. When all the object UUIDs have been viewed, this function returns an RPC_S_NO_MORE_MEMBERS status code. The returned object UUIDs are unordered.

The application supplies the memory for the object UUID returned in the ObjUuid parameter.

After viewing the object UUIDs, the application must call the RpcNsEntryObjectInqDone function to release the inquiry context.

The order in which object UUIDs are returned can be different for each viewing of an entry. This means that the order in which object UUIDs are returned to an application can be different each time the application is run.
