CommandLineToArgvW  4AEWPGF 

The CommandLineToArgvW function parses a wide-character Unicode command-line string. It returns a pointer to a set of wide-character Unicode argument strings and a count of arguments, similar to the standard C run-time argv and argc values. The function provides a way to obtain a Unicode set of argv and argc values from a Unicode command-line string.

LPWSTR *  CommandLineToArgvW(

    LPCWSTR lpCmdLine,

// pointer to a command-line string

    int *pNumArgs

// pointer to a variable that receives the argument count

   );

 

 

Parameters

lpCmdLine

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode command-line string. An application will usually directly pass on the value returned by a call to GetCommandLineW1XS07ZY.

*pNumArgs

Pointer to an integer variable that the function sets to the count of arguments parsed.

 

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is a non-NULL pointer to the constructed argument list, which is a set of Unicode wide-character argument strings.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError11C2VS7.

Remarks

It is the caller s responsibility to free the memory used by the argument list when it is no longer needed. To free the memory, use a single call to either the GlobalFree or LocalFree function.
