Syntax

BOOL SRV_IODEAD ( SRV_PROC * srvproc );

Arguments

srvproc

Is a pointer to the SRV_PROC structure that is the handle for a particular client connection (in this case, the handle that has the input and output connection to be tested).

Returns

TRUE if the SRV_PROC structure of the client input and output connection is still open; otherwise, FALSE.

Remarks

This function is useful in error handling situations when you need to determine whether you can send an error message to a client.

In a SRV_DISCONNECT handler, SRV_IODEAD always returns TRUE.
