Gets a handle to a channel or log file that you can then use to get information about the channel or log file.
A remote session handle that the EvtOpenSession function returns. Set to NULL to open a channel or log on the local computer.
The name of the channel or the full path to the exported log file.
A flag that determines whether the Path parameter points to a log file or channel. For possible values, see the EVT_OPEN_LOG_FLAGS enumeration.
If successful, the function returns a handle to the file or channel; otherwise, NULL. If NULL, call GetLastError function to get the error code.
Relative paths and environment variables cannot be used when specifying a file. A Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path can be used to locate the file. Any relative path and environment variable expansion needs to be done prior to making API calls.
To get information about the channel or log file, call the EvtGetLogInfo function.
