handle (DCIHandleID *) - output

A pointer to the location to return the DCI handle.

metricIdList (DCIMetricId *) - input

A pointer to a list of metric class and instance identifiers.

numIds (uint32) - input

The number of input metric class identifiers.

bufferAddress (DCIReturn **) - output

A pointer to the address of a return value buffer.

Must be set to null so that the storage is obtained by the Performance Server. The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory using dciFree.

bufferSize (uint32) - output

Reserved, set to zero.

handleFlags (uint32) - output

Reserved, set to zero.

ulrc (DCIStatus) - returns

Return code.

dciTerminate returns one of the following values:

DCI_SUCCESS

The DCIReturn structure has been written to the output buffer.
DCI_SYSERROR
A internal error has occurred (such as a shortage of resources) that may be beyond the control of the application.
DCI_NOTINITIALIZED
The DCI subsystem is not currently initialized.
DCI_INVALIDARG
One of the input arguments is invalid. For example, a negative value was used for numIds or bufferSize. Also, either metricIdList could not be read or buffer could not be written.
