ANSI_STRING structure
The ANSI_STRING structure defines a counted string used for ANSI strings.
Syntax
typedef struct _STRING {
USHORT Length;
USHORT MaximumLength;
PCHAR Buffer;
} ANSI_STRING, *PANSI_STRING;
Members
- Length
-
The length in bytes of the string stored in the buffer pointed to by Buffer.
- MaximumLength
-
The length in bytes of the buffer pointed to by Buffer.
- Buffer
-
Pointer to a buffer used to contain a string of characters.
Remarks
The ANSI_STRING structure is used to pass ANSI strings. Use the RtlInitAnsiString routine to initialize an ANSI_STRING.
If the string is null-terminated, Length does not include the terminating NULL.
The MaximumLength is used to indicate the length of Buffer so that if the string is passed to a conversion routine such as RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString the returned string does not exceed the buffer size.
