GetSecurityDescriptorLength

The GetSecurityDescriptorLength function returns the length, in bytes, of a structurally valid SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure. The length includes the length of all associated structures, such as SID and ACL structures.

DWORD GetSecurityDescriptorLength(

PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSecurityDescriptor
// address of security descriptor
);

Parameters

pSecurityDescriptor

Points to the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure whose length the function returns. The SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure is assumed to be valid.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in bytes, of the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure. If the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure is invalid, the return value is undefined.

Remarks

The minimum length of a security descriptor is SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_MIN_LENGTH. A security descriptor of this length has no associated SID or ACL structures.
