The CopySid function copies a security identifier (SID) to a buffer.

BOOL CopySid(

    DWORD nDestinationSidLength,

// size of buffer for copied SID

    PSID pDestinationSid,

// pointer to buffer for copied SID

    PSID pSourceSid

// pointer to source SID

   );

 

 

Parameters

Specifies the length, in bytes, of the buffer receiving the copy of the SID.

pDestinationSid

Points to a buffer receiving a copy of the source SIDCLJI72 structure.

pSourceSid
