The OemToChar function translates a string from the OEM-defined character set into either an ANSI or a wide-character string. (OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer.) This function supersedes the OemToAnsi function.
BOOL OemToChar(
| LPCSTR lpszSrc, | // pointer to string to translate |
| LPTSTR lpszDst | // pointer to buffer for translated string |
| ); |
Parameters
lpszSrc
Points to a null-terminated string of characters from the OEM-defined character set.
lpszDst
Points to the buffer for the translated string. If the OemToChar function is being used as an ANSI function, the string can be translated in place by setting the lpszDst parameter to the same address as the lpszSrc parameter. This cannot be done if OemToChar is being used as a wide-character function.
Return Values
The return value is always nonzero.
