Function name: GetSecurityDescriptorDacl

Defined in : advapi32

Requirements : Windows NT 3.1 or later; Win9x/ME: Not supported

Declaration:

Declare Function GetSecurityDescriptorDacl Lib "advapi32.dll" (pSecurityDescriptor As Byte, lpbDaclPresent As Long, pDacl As Long, lpbDaclDefaulted As Long) As Long

Parameters:

* pSecurityDescriptor [in] Pointer to the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure containing the discretionary ACL. The function retrieves a pointer to it. * lpbDaclPresent [out] Pointer to a value that indicates the presence of a discretionary ACL in the specified security descriptor. If this parameter is TRUE, the security descriptor contains a discretionary ACL, and the remaining output parameters in this function receive valid values. If this parameter is FALSE, the security descriptor does not contain a discretionary ACL, and the remaining output parameters do not receive valid values. * pDacl [out] Pointer to a pointer to an ACL structure. If a discretionary ACL exists, the function sets the pointer pointed to by pDacl to the address of the security descriptor's discretionary ACL. If a discretionary ACL does not exist, no value is stored. If the function stores a NULL value in the pointer pointed to by pDacl, the security descriptor has a NULL discretionary ACL. A NULL discretionary ACL implicitly allows all access to an object. * lpbDaclDefaulted [out] Pointer to a flag set to the value of the SE_DACL_DEFAULTED flag in the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_CONTROL structure if a discretionary ACL exists for the security descriptor. If this flag is TRUE, the discretionary ACL was retrieved by a default mechanism; if FALSE, the discretionary ACL was explicitly specified by a user.

Returns:

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.
