# GetStatusFence

> Retrieves the fence for the protected session. From the fence, you can retrieve the current uniqueness validity value (using ID3D12Fence::GetCompletedValue).

Retrieves the fence for the protected session. From the fence, you can retrieve the current uniqueness validity value (using [ID3D12Fence::GetCompletedValue](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/graphics/d3d12/interfaces/id3d12fence/methods/id3d12fence_getcompletedvalue_public.md)), and add monitors for changes to its value. This is a read-only fence.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT GetStatusFence(
    const IID & riid,
    void  ppFence
)
```

### Parameters

*riid*\
Type: const IID &

The GUID of the interface to a fence. Most commonly, [ID3D12Fence](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/graphics/d3d12/interfaces/id3d12fence/id3d12fence_public.md), although it may be any GUID for any interface. If the protected session object doesn't support the interface for this GUID, the function returns **E\_NOINTERFACE**.

*ppFence \[optional]*\
Type: void \*\*

A pointer to a memory block that receives a pointer to the fence for the given protected session.

### Return value
