NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString

NDIS_STATUS
NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString(
IN OUT PNDIS_ANSI_STRING DestinationString,
IN PNDIS_STRING SourceString
);

NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString converts a given counted Unicode string into a counted ANSI string. The translation conforms to the current system locale information.

Parameters

DestinationString: Points to a caller-allocated buffer in which this function should return the converted ANSI string.
SourceString: Points to the Unicode string to be converted.

Return Value

NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS if the conversion succeeds. Otherwise, the contents of the buffer at DestinationString are unaffected.

Comments

The caller must allocate storage for both the source and destination strings and release these buffers as soon as the strings are no longer needed. The buffer at SourceString must be at least twice the size of that at DestinationString.
