WdfPdoRetrieveIdentificationDescription method
[Applies to KMDF only]
The WdfPdoRetrieveIdentificationDescription method retrieves the identification description that is associated with a specified framework device object.
Syntax
NTSTATUS WdfPdoRetrieveIdentificationDescription( [in] WDFDEVICE Device, [in, out] PWDF_CHILD_IDENTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION_HEADER IdentificationDescription );
Parameters
- Device [in]
- 
A handle to a framework device object that represents the device's physical device object (PDO). 
- IdentificationDescription [in, out]
- 
A pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that will receive the identification description. The identification description must contain a WDF_CHILD_IDENTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION_HEADER structure. 
Return value
If the operation succeeds, the function returns STATUS_SUCCESS. Additional return values include:
| Return code | Description | 
|---|---|
| 
 | The Device handle does not represent a PDO. | 
| 
 | The Device handle does not represent a device that was dynamically enumerated, or if the WDF_CHILD_IDENTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION_HEADER structure does not contain the correct buffer size. | 
The method might also return other NTSTATUS values.
A system bug check occurs if the driver supplies an invalid object handle.
Examples
The following code example obtains a device's indentification description.
WDFDEVICE  childPdo;
MY_IDENTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION  IdentificationDescription;
NTSTATUS  status;
WDF_CHILD_IDENTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION_HEADER_INIT(
                                                 &IdentificationDescription.Header,
                                                 sizeof(IdentificationDescription)
                                                 );
status = WdfPdoRetrieveIdentificationDescription(
                                                 childPdo,
                                                 &IdentificationDescription.Header
                                                 );
