View the official Windows hardware development documentationNo description available.
The ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW function converts a locally unique identifier (LUID) for a network interface to the Unicode interface name.
[!NOTE] The ConvertInterfaceXxx API family enumerates identifiers over all interfaces bound to TCP/IP, which may include virtual miniports, lightweight filters, tunnel adapters, and physical interfaces.
InterfaceLuid [in] A pointer to a NET_LUID union for the network interface.
InterfaceName [out] A pointer to a buffer to hold the NULL-terminated Unicode string. If ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW returns successfully, InterfaceName contains the Unicode interface name.
Length [in] The length of the buffer, by character count, that the InterfaceName parameter points to. This value must be large enough to hold the interface name and the terminating NULL character. The maximum allowed length is NDIS_IF_MAX_STRING_SIZE + 1. For more information about NDIS_IF_MAX_STRING_SIZE, see the following Remarks section.
ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds. If the function fails, ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW returns one of the following error codes:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER | One of the parameters is invalid. ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW returns this error if either InterfaceLuid or InterfaceName is NULL, or if InterfaceLuid is invalid. |
| STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY | ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW returns this error if the InterfaceName buffer was not as large as specified in the Length parameter and, therefore, the buffer could not hold the interface name. |
The ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameW function is protocol-independent and works with network interfaces for both the IPv6 and IPv4 protocols.
The maximum length of the network interface name, NDIS_IF_MAX_STRING_SIZE, without the terminating NULL character, is defined in the Ntddndis.h header file. The NDIS_IF_MAX_STRING_SIZE is defined to be the IF_MAX_STRING_SIZE constant, which is defined in the Ifdef.h header file.
[!NOTE] The Ntddndis.h and Ifdef.h header files are automatically included in the Netioapi.h header file. You should never use the Ntddndis.h and Ifdef.h header files directly.
Use ConvertInterfaceLuidToNameA to convert a network interface LUID to an ANSI interface name.
