An index identifying the device instance (beginning with 0). To determine the number of the devices of the specified type available in the virtual machine, use the PrlVmCfg_GetDevsCountByType function.

Search this documentation for topics with PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_ prefix in their names for the list of the available virtual device handles.
