NdisInitAnsiString

VOID
NdisInitAnsiString(
IN OUT PNDIS_ANSI_STRING DestinationString,
IN PCSTR SourceString
);

NdisInitAnsiString initializes a counted ANSI string.

Parameters

DestinationString: Points to a caller-allocated buffer in which this function should store the counted ANSI string.
SourceString: Points to a zero-terminated string with which to initialize the counted string.

Comments

The DestinationString is initialized to point to the SourceString. The length and maximum length for the DestinationString are initialized to the length of the string at SourceString. If SourceString is NULL, the length is zero.

Callers of NdisInitAnsiString can be running at IRQL <= DISPATCH_LEVEL if the DestinationString buffer is allocated from nonpaged memory. Usually, callers are running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL during driver initialization.
