DAT_PROVIDER_FINI(3DAT) Direct Access Transport Library Functions

NAME

dat_provider_fini - disassociate the Provider from a given IA name

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
#include <dat/udat.h>

void
dat_provider_fini (
IN const DAT_PROVIDER_INFO *provider_info
)

PARAMETERS

provider_info
The information that was provided when
dat_provider_init was called.

DESCRIPTION

A destructor the Registry calls on a Provider before it disassociates
the Provider from a given IA name.


The Provider can use this method to undo any initialization it
performed when dat_provider_init(3DAT) was called for the same IA
name. The Provider's implementation of this method should call
dat_registry_remove_provider(3DAT) to unregister its IA Name. If it
does not, the Registry might remove the entry itself.


This method can be called for a given IA name at any time after all
open instances of that IA are closed, and is certainly called before
the Registry unloads the Provider library. However, it is not called
more than once without an intervening call to dat_provider_init() for
that IA name.

RETURN VALUES

No values are returned.
