Parameter Type Description
Input
- - -
Output
packet availability UCHAR[26] Driver version as "C"-string

Possible errors (see also Error codes):
E_FARC_INVALID_HANDLE
E_FARC_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

Example:
Note, that the following example is only a fragment. It is recommended, that the driver is opened in asynchronous mode and a handle to the driver is available.

OVERLAPPED overlapped; BOOL ret; DWORD read, err; char outbuf[26]; overlapped.Offset = 0; overlapped.OffsetHigh = 0; overlapped.hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,NULL); ... ret = DeviceIoControl(drvhandle, IOCTL_FARC_GET_CARDID, NULL, 0, outbuf, 26, &read, &overlapped); if (!ret) { err = GetLastError(); if (err == E_FARC_PENDING) { ret = GetOverlappedResult(drvhandle, &overlapped, &read, TRUE); if (!ret) { err = GetLastError(); // do errorhandling here } } else { // other error occured, perhaps wrong handle } } printf("SW-Version: %s",outbuf); ...
