VC_Cleanup

VOID
VC_Cleanup(
PDRIVER_OBJECT
pDriverObject
);

The VC_Cleanup function deallocates the system resources that were allocated by a previous call to VC_Init.

Parameters

pDriverObject

The driver object pointer received as input to the driver's DriverEntry function.

Return Value

None.

Comments

A kernel-mode video capture driver should call VC_Cleanup if a failure occurs within its DriverEntry function after VC_Init has been called.

Additionally, the VCKernel.lib library specifies VC_Cleanup as the function to be called when the kernel-mode driver is unloaded (by assigning the function's address to the driver object's DriverUnload member).

The VC_Cleanup function performs the following operations, in the order listed:

1.Cancels outstanding IRPs.

2.Calls the kernel-mode driver's CleanupFunc function.

3.Unmaps mapped I/O memory space.

4.Removes the device's interrupt objects.

5.Releases system resources (interrupt number, DMA channel, and so on) reserved for the device.

6.Removes the device object associated with the device.
