SUMMARY

The documentation for NdisMWriteLogData states a possible return value as:

   NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE
   The given LogBufferSize is too large, that is, larger than the log file
   itself.

This is incorrect. The correct return value is:

   NDIS_STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW.

MORE INFORMATION

The log is simply a circular buffer, so multiple writes can eventually overwrite the head.

This documentation error has been corrected in the Windows 2000 DDK's and later.

Additional query words: NDIS NdisMWriteLogData NdisMCreateLog
