  [in, out] MI_Application *application,
            MI_Uint32      flags,
  [in]      MI_Char        *format,
  [out]     MI_Serializer  *serializer
);

Parameters

[in, out] application

A pointer to a handle returned from the MI_Application_Initialize function.

[in] format

A string that contains which serializer to use. This parameter must be L"MI_XML".

[out] serializer
