The CopySid function copies a security identifier (SID) to a buffer.
BOOL CopySid(
| DWORD nDestinationSidLength, | // size of buffer for copied SID |
| PSID pDestinationSid, | // pointer to buffer for copied SID |
| PSID pSourceSid | // pointer to source SID |
| ); |
Parameters
nDestinationSidLength
Specifies the length, in bytes, of the buffer receiving the copy of the SID.
pDestinationSid
Points to a buffer receiving a copy of the source SID structure.
pSourceSid
Points to a SID structure the function copies to the buffer pointed to by the pDestinationSid parameter.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
An application can use the CopySid function to make a copy of a SID in an access token (in a TOKEN_GROUPS structure, for instance) to use in an access-control entry.
