ClearCommError info  Overview  Group

The ClearCommError function retrieves information about a communications error and reports the current status of a communications device. The function is called when a communications error occurs, and it clears the device’s error flag to enable additional input and output (I/O) operations.

BOOL ClearCommError(

    HANDLE hFile,

// handle to communications device

    LPDWORD lpErrors,

// pointer to variable to receive error codes

    LPCOMSTAT lpStat

// pointer to buffer for communications status

   );

Parameters

hFile
Identifies the communications device. The CreateFile function returns this handle.
lpErrors
Points to a 32-bit variable to be filled with a mask indicating the type of error. This parameter can be one or more of the following error codes:

Value

Meaning

CE_BREAK

The hardware detected a break condition.

CE_DNS

Windows 95 only: A parallel device is not selected.

CE_FRAME

The hardware detected a framing error.

CE_IOE

An I/O error occurred during communications with the device.

CE_MODE

The requested mode is not supported, or the hFile parameter is invalid. If this value is specified, it is the only valid error.

CE_OOP

Windows 95 only: A parallel device signaled that it is out of paper.

CE_OVERRUN

A character-buffer overrun has occurred. The next character is lost.

CE_PTO

Windows 95 only: A time-out occurred on a parallel device.

CE_RXOVER

An input buffer overflow has occurred. There is either no room in the input buffer, or a character was received after the end-of-file (EOF) character.

CE_RXPARITY

The hardware detected a parity error.

CE_TXFULL

The application tried to transmit a character, but the output buffer was full.

lpStat
Points to a COMSTAT structure in which the device’s status information is returned. If lpStat is NULL, no status information is returned.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If a communications port has been set up with a TRUE value for the fAbortOnError member of the setup DCB structure, the communications software will terminate all read and write operations on the communications port when a communications error occurs. No new read or write operations will be accepted until the application acknowledges the communications error by calling the ClearCommError function.

The ClearCommError function fills the status buffer pointed to by the lpStat parameter with the current status of the communications device specified by the hFile parameter.
