The IFWXSocket interface is the Microsoft Firewall service socket interface.
Note Before releasing this interface, you must call IFWXSocket::Close or IFWXSocket::Shutdown on it.
The IFWXSocket interface inherits the methods of the standard COM interface IUnknown.
In addition, IFWXSocket defines the following methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Send | Sends a buffer asynchronously. It performs an overlapped send operation. |
| SendTo | Sends a buffer asynchronously on UDP sockets to a specific address. It performs an overlapped sendto operation. |
| Recv | Receives a buffer asynchronously. It performs an overlapped receive (or receive from operation, depending on the socket type). |
| Shutdown | Starts transport shutdown on the socket. |
| Close | Closes the socket. |
This interface does not necessarily correspond to a network socket. It allows data filters to work with the data that is flowing through the socket by using a socket-like interface. A network socket implements the IFWXNetworkSocket interface. For more information about sockets and socket interfaces, see Socket Objects.
