RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyStringN function (ntstrsafe.h)

The RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyStringN function copies a string into a UNICODE_STRING structure while limiting the size of the copied string.

Syntax

NTSTRSAFEDDI RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyStringN(
  [out] PUNICODE_STRING  DestinationString,
  [in]  NTSTRSAFE_PCWSTR pszSrc,
  [in]  size_t           cbToCopy
);

Parameters

[out] DestinationString

A pointer to a UNICODE_STRING structure that receives the copied string. The string that the pszSrc parameter points to (excluding the terminating null) is copied into the buffer that the DestinationString parameter's UNICODE_STRING structure points to. The maximum number of bytes in the string is NTSTRSAFE_UNICODE_STRING_MAX_CCH * sizeof(WCHAR).

[in] pszSrc

A pointer to the string to be copied.

[in] cbToCopy

The number of bytes to be copied from the source to the destination.

Return value

RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyN returns one of the following NTSTATUS values.

Return code Description
STATUS_SUCCESS
This success status means that source data was present, the string was copied without truncation, and the resultant destination buffer is null-terminated.
STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
This warning status means that the copy operation did not complete because of insufficient buffer space. The destination buffer contains a truncated, null-terminated version of the intended result.
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
This error status means that the function received an invalid input parameter. For more information, see the following list.
 

RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyN returns the STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER value when one of the following occurs:

  • The contents of the UNICODE_STRING structure are invalid.
  • The destination buffer is already full.
  • A buffer pointer is NULL.
  • The destination buffer's length is zero, but a nonzero length source string is present.
  • The cbToCopy parameter's value is greater than NTSTRSAFE_UNICODE_STRING_MAX_CCH * sizeof(WCHAR).
For information about how to test NTSTATUS values, see Using NTSTATUS Values.

Remarks

The RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyN function uses the destination buffer's size to ensure that the copy operation does not write past the end of the buffer. The function does not terminate the resultant string with a null character value (that is, with zero).

If the source and destination strings overlap, the behavior of the function is undefined.

The pszSrc and DestinationString pointers cannot be NULL. If you need to handle NULL pointer values, use the RtlUnicodeStringCbCopyNEx function.
