Syntax

Command To Get Serial Number Windows 10

Parameters

HidDeviceObject

[in]Specifies an open handle to a top-level collection.

Buffer

[out]Pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that the routine uses to return the requested serial number string. The routine returns a NULL-terminated wide character string.

BufferLength

[in]Specifies the length, in bytes, of a caller-allocated buffer provided at Buffer. If the buffer is not large enough to return the entire NULL-terminated embedded string, the routine returns nothing in the buffer. The supplied buffer must be <= 4093 bytes (2^12 – 3).

Return value

HidD_GetSerialNumberString returns TRUE if it successfully returns the entire NULL-terminated embedded string. Otherwise, the routine returns FALSE. Use GetLastError to get extended error information.

Remarks

Only user-mode applications can call HidD_GetSerialNumberString. Kernel-mode drivers can use IOCTL_HID_GET_SERIALNUMBER_STRING.

Serial Number For This Computer

The maximum possible number of characters in an embedded string is device specific. For USB devices, the maximum string length is 126 wide characters (not including the terminating NULL character).

If the supplied buffer is not <= 4093 bytes (2^12 – 3), the call may fail (depending on the underlying protocol, HID/Bluetooth/SPI) with error code ERROR_GEN_FAILURE (0x0000001f)
