## **Function ** ## IUNKNOWN\_AddRef\(\) ``` int IUNKNOWN_AddRef ([IUnknown](IUnknown.md) * iUnknown) ``` **Description:** Increments the reference count in this **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface. This function is called in **QueryInterface**. Do not call this function in the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface. When the **QueryInterface** function is re-implemented, you need to call this function in the new **QueryInterface**.**** ****The system does not provide a lock to protect functions. Therefore, you need to re-implement functions if multiple developers are using them. **** **Parameters:** ## IUNKNOWN\_QueryInterface\(\) ``` int IUNKNOWN_QueryInterface ([IUnknown](IUnknown.md) * iUnknown, int ver, void ** target ) ``` **Description:** Queries the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interfaces of a specified version \(downcasting\). After obtaining the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface object, the function caller uses **QueryInterface** to convert the object to the required subclass type. The system converts [DEFAULT\_VERSION](Samgr.md#ga13dae059206df8d2d9b9b42e694b3f9c) into the subclass type required by the caller. If the type conversion requirements cannot be met, you need to re-implement this function. **Parameters:**

Name	Description
iUnknown	Indicates the pointer to the IUnknown interface.
version	Indicates the version of the IUnknown interface object to be converted.
target	Indicates the IUnknown subclass type required by the caller. This is an output parameter.

In the default implementation provided by the system, if the reference count is **0**, the memory of the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface object and implementation object is not released. If the memory of the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface object and implementation object is dynamically allocated, this function needs to be re-implemented. If the reference count is **0**, the memory of the **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface object and implementation object is released. **Parameters:**

Name	Description
iUnknown	Indicates the pointer to the IUnknown interface object.

**Returns:** **** Indicates the number of **[IUnknown](IUnknown.md)** interface objects that are referenced after the current reference is released.******** ## SAMGR\_Bootstrap\(\) ``` void SAMGR_Bootstrap (void ) ``` **Description:** Starts system services and features. This function is called in the **main** function to start all services when an independent process is developed. This function is called after the dynamic library \(containing system services and features\) is loaded during system running. **Attention:** This function cannot be called frequently. Otherwise, problems such as repeated service startup may occur. It is recommended that this function be called once in the **main** function or after the dynamic library is loaded. ## SAMGR\_GetInstance\(\) ``` [SamgrLite](SamgrLite.md)* SAMGR_GetInstance (void ) ``` **Description:** Obtains the singleton Samgr instance. You need to call this function before using the Samgr capabilities. **Returns:** Returns the pointer to the singleton instance [SamgrLite](SamgrLite.md). ## SAMGR\_SendRequest\(\) ``` int32 SAMGR_SendRequest (const [Identity](Identity.md) * identity, const [Request](Request.md) * request, [Handler](Samgr.md#ga5e13d943cc6a87a5c99fe604f3bc01e4) handler ) ``` **Description:** Sends a request to a service or feature of a specified identity.
