Removes a Vxd_Desc_Block structure (DDB) from the device list.

• Clears the carry flag if the DDB was removed; the carry flag is set if the DDB was not found.

ddb

A Vxd_Desc_Block structure that contains the driver version numbers, the addresses of required procedures, and so on.

Virtual devices should call this service with extreme caution. DDBs removed in this manner are removed from the system without being given any opportunity to clean up. If you want to unload a VxD, you would be much better off using the VxD loader services than trying to manipulate the DDB list directly. Removing a DDB at a bad time destabilizes the system.
