PeerGroupClose function (p2p.h)

The PeerGroupClose function invalidates the peer group handle obtained by a previous call to the PeerGroupCreate, PeerGroupJoin, or PeerGroupOpen function.

Syntax

NOT_BUILD_WINDOWS_DEPRECATE HRESULT PeerGroupClose(
  [in] HGROUP hGroup
);

Parameters

[in] hGroup

Handle to the peer group to close. This handle is returned by the PeerGroupCreate, PeerGroupOpen, or PeerGroupJoin function. This parameter is required.

Return value

Returns S_OK if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, the function returns the following value.

Cryptography-specific errors can be returned from the Microsoft RSA Base Provider. These errors are prefixed with CRYPT_* and defined in Winerror.h.

Remarks

If the peer group handle closed is the last handle that refers to a peer group shared across multiple applications or processes, the call also closes the respective network connections for the peer.
