CertRDNValueToStrW function (wincrypt.h)
The CertRDNValueToStr function converts a name in a CERT_RDN_VALUE_BLOB to a null-terminated character string.
Syntax
DWORD CertRDNValueToStrW(
[in] DWORD dwValueType,
[in] PCERT_RDN_VALUE_BLOB pValue,
[out] LPWSTR psz,
[in] DWORD csz
);
Parameters
[in] dwValueType
Indicates the kind of RDN value to be converted.
This can be one of the following values:
- CERT_RDN_ANY_TYPE
- CERT_RDN_ENCODED_BLOB
- CERT_RDN_OCTET_STRING
- CERT_RDN_NUMERIC_STRING
- CERT_RDN_PRINTABLE_STRING
- CERT_RDN_TELETEX_STRING
- CERT_RDN_T61_STRING
- CERT_RDN_VIDEOTEX_STRING
- CERT_RDN_IA5_STRING
- CERT_RDN_GRAPHIC_STRING
- CERT_RDN_VISIBLE_STRING
- CERT_RDN_ISO646_STRING
- CERT_RDN_GENERAL_STRING
- CERT_RDN_UNIVERSAL_STRING
- CERT_RDN_INT4_STRING
- CERT_RDN_BMP_STRING
- CERT_RDN_UNICODE_STRING
- CERT_RDN_UTF8_STRING
[in] pValue
A pointer to an CERT_RDN_VALUE_BLOB of a type appropriate for the dwValueType.
[out] psz
A pointer to a buffer to receive the returned string.
[in] csz
Size, in characters, allocated for the returned string. The size must include the terminating NULL character.
Return value
Returns the number of characters converted, including the terminating NULL character. If psz is NULL or csz is zero, returns the required size of the destination string.
Remarks
If psz is not NULL and csz is not zero, the returned psz is always a possibly empty null-terminated string.
Note
The wincrypt.h header defines CertRDNValueToStr as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
