| Platform SDK: Windows Sockets |
The following functions are implemented in the Ws2_32.dll, and are intended to be used by applications that install Windows Sockets transport and name space service providers on a machine. These functions neither affect currently running applications, nor are the changes made by these functions visible to currently running applications.
For all providers, a provider identifier is a GUID which is generated by the developer of the provider (using the Uuidgen.exe utility) and supplied to Ws2_32.dll.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| WSCDeinstallProvider | Removes a service provider from the registry. |
| WSCEnumProtocols | Retrieves information about available transport protocols. |
| WSCInstallProvider | Registers a new service provider. |
