Parameters

Parameters	Description
IN PVOID p__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber	Pointer to the CdvdBurnerGrabber object that toolkit allocated before.
OUT PCHAR p__PCHAR__ExceptionText	Pointer to array of CHARs that will be used to store formatted exception description message.
IN ULONG p__ULONG__ExceptionTextSizeInUCHARs	Size of the array of CHARs used to be formatted exception message storage.
OUT PULONG p__PULONG__SystemError	Pointer to ULONG that will contain the system error (if some will occur).
OUT PCDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION p__PCDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION	Pointer to CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION that will be filled with apropriate values.
IN ULONG p__ULONG__NumberOfSecondsToWait	Number of seconds to wait (not less than the number, maybe more) for device to become into ready state.
IN BOOLEAN p__BOOLEAN__IsFastExitUsed	Should StarBurn do "fast exit" if there's no disc in drive.

Returns

Execution status. EN_SUCCESS if the operation completed successfuly. If the exception number will be EN_SYSTEM_CALL_FAILED, variable that SystemError points to will be filled with system error. If something other then EN_SUCCESS will be returned buffer that ExceptionText will point to will be filled with formatted exception message. If the exception number will be EN_SCSI_CDB_FAILED, CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION will be filled with apropriate values (CDB that faled, CDB size, SCSI sense data, SCSI sense data size, SCSI transport, device and host adapter status codes).

Description

This function tests is CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD burner device object unit ready or not. This information can be used later to start I/O operations. This "double extended" variant of the call also can wait for particular amount of seconds and do "fast exit" if there's no disc in drive.

Remarks

Please see the TrackAtOnceFromTree and TrackAtOnceFromFile samples that will demonstrate how ISO9660 or Joliet file system image can be burn on the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD media and what StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TestUnitReadyExEx can be used for. Also it's a good idea to check either normal StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TestUnitReady or basic extended variant of this call called StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TestUnitReadyEx. Some of them may work better in particular situation.

Example

This example allocates CdvdBurnerGrabber object, tests unit ready and destroys the device object after it's not needed any more.

// Somewhere in the data region
PVOID l__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber;
EXCEPTION_NUMBER l__EXCEPTION_NUMBER;
ULONG l__ULONG__SystemError;
CHAR l__CHAR__ExceptionText[ 1024 ];
CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION l__CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION;

// Prepare exception text buffer
RtlZeroMemory(
    &l__CHAR__ExceptionText,
    sizeof( l__CHAR__ExceptionText )
    );

// Prepare CDB failure information
RtlZeroMemory(
    &l__CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION,
    sizeof( l__CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION )
    );

// Try to create CdvdBurnerGrabber on 0:0:4:0 with 32MB of cache
l__EXCEPTION_NUMBER =
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_Create(
    &l__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber,
    ( PCHAR )( &l__CHAR__ExceptionText ),
    sizeof( l__CHAR__ExceptionText ),
    &l__ULONG__SystemError,
    &l__CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION,
    ( PCALLBACK )( StarBurn_Callback ),
    0,
    0,
    4,
    0,
    32
    );

// Check for correct reply
if (  l__EXCEPTION_NUMBER != EN_SUCCESS )
{
// Handle error here...
}

// Try to test unit ready
l__EXCEPTION_NUMBER =
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TestUnitReadyExEx(
    l__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber,
    ( PCHAR )( &l__CHAR__ExceptionText ),
    sizeof( l__CHAR__ExceptionText ),
    &l__ULONG__SystemError,
    &l__CDB_FAILURE_INFORMATION,
    5,      // 5 seconds to wait for device to become ready
    TRUE    // Fast exit if there's no disc in drive
    );
    
// Check for correct reply
if (  l__EXCEPTION_NUMBER != EN_SUCCESS )
{
// Handle error here...
}

// Do something with CdvdBurnerGrabber device object here...        

// Destroy the CdvdBurnerGrabber
StarBurn_Destroy( &l__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber );

// Just check for pointer (paranoid?)
if ( l__PVOID__CdvdBurnerGrabber != NULL )
{
// Handle error here...
}
