FFSTProbe
FFSTProbe performs the requested services and returns control to the caller. This function provides a series of functions that includes logging and dump creation.
Syntax
FFSTProbe (pProductInfo, pFFSTParms)
Parameters
- pProductInfo (PPRODUCTINFO) - input
- Pointer to the product-information packet.
- pFFSTParms (PFFSTPARMS) - input
- A parameter packet that describes the information provided with the FFSTProbe.
Return Code
rc (APIRET) - returns

Remarks
The library FFST.LIB must be linked with object files that use FFSTProbe.
The packet_revision_number parameter defines if pointers point to ASCII or UniCode character data.
Example Code
The following example adds an error (235) to the Default Log file for this service. The error has no message inserts, user data, dump file, or extra data. Product information will be retrieved from the DMI database entry that was created when the product (TEST PRODUCT) was installed.
