Description

This source file is an example of how to use the statistics stream interface in NTAPI.

The following NTAPI functions are used:


Prerequisites

A working system is needed.

Program flow

The following is required to use the statistics stream interface in NTAPI:

  • #include/nt.h - Applications/Tools only need to include nt.h to obtain prototypes, macros etc. from NTAPI.
  • NT_Init(NTAPI_VERSION) - Initialize the NTAPI library. NTAPI_VERSION is a define that describes the version of the API described in the header files included by nt.h. NT_Init() will ask the NTAPI library to convert return data to the NTAPI_VERSION if possible. This will ensure that applications can run on NTAPI libraries of newer versions.
  • NT_StatOpen() - Open an statistics stream.
  • NT_StatRead() - Read statistics with clear=1 to clear the statistics counters for the current stream.
  • NT_StatRead() - Read statistics with clear=0 to obtain new statistics counters after the reset.
  • NT_StatClose() - Close the stream when terminating.
  • NT_Done() - Close down the NTAPI library.
  • NT_ExplainError() - Explain an error code returned by NTAPI functions.
