NDIS_INIT_FUNCTION(FunctionName)
NDIS_INIT_FUNCTION is a macro used to mark a driver function to be run once only during initialization.
Parameters
FunctionName
The name of the function that is only used during initialization.
Comments
Any driver function marked with NDIS_INIT_FUNCTION is discarded when the DriverEntry function returns control.
For example, such a function is declared in the driver source as follows:
NDIS_STATUS DriverEntry(...);
#pragma NDIS_INIT_FUNCTION(DriverEntry)
... //other function declarations
NDIS_STATUS
DriverEntry(...)
{
...
}
...
NDIS drivers can use this macro on their DriverEntry functions and on internal driver functions that are called only by their DriverEntry functions.
A NIC driver cannot use this macro on its MiniportInitialize function, nor on any internal driver function called by MiniportInitialize, because this function can be called at runtime in a Plug-and-Play environment.
