Refreshes stale information from the Host Bus Adapter.
Common Host Bus Adapter Library (libHBAAPI.a)
#include <hbaapi.h> void HBA_RefreshInformation (handle) HBA_HANDLE handle;
The HBA_RefreshInformation subroutine refreshes stale information from the Host Bus Adapter. This would reflect changes to information obtained from calls to the HBA_GetAdapterPortAttributes, or HBA_GetDiscoveredPortAttributes subroutine. Once the application calls the HBA_RefreshInformation subroutine, it can proceed to the attributes's call to get the new data.
| handle | Specifies the open file descriptor obtained from a successful call to the open subroutine for which the refresh operation is to be performed. |
The HBA_RegisterLibrary Subroutine.
