A pointer to the LogReadEntry parameter packet.

For Error Logging, this is a pointer to a LREREQUEST structure.

You provide an entry-key data structure. Entry keys are generated by this function and by LogWaitEvent. Log file searching typically begins at the entry that follows the one specified within the event key. The event key is updated as new entries are read.

If no event filter is provided, LogReadEntry will read the entry that is pointed to by the event key. You also have the option of starting a search at the logical beginning of the Log File.

For Event Tracing, this is a pointer to a LREREQUESTTRACE structure.

You provide an entry ID. Log File searching typically begins at the entry that follows the one that is specified by the event ID. The event ID is updated as entries are read.

If no event filter is provided, LogReadEntry will read the entry that is pointed to by the entry ID. You also have the option of starting a search at the logical beginning of the log file.
