PathCchAddExtension function (pathcch.h)
Adds a file name extension to a path string.
This function differs from PathAddExtension in that it accepts paths with "\", "\?" and "\?\UNC" prefixes.
Syntax
WINPATHCCHAPI HRESULT PathCchAddExtension(
[in, out] PWSTR pszPath,
[in] size_t cchPath,
[in] PCWSTR pszExt
);
Parameters
[in, out] pszPath
A pointer to the path string. When this function returns successfully, the buffer contains the string with the appended extension. This value should not be NULL.
[in] cchPath
The size of the buffer pointed to by pszPath, in characters.
[in] pszExt
A pointer to the file name extension string. This string can be given either with or without a preceding period (".ext" or "ext").
Return value
This function returns an HRESULT code, including the following.
Return code | Description |
---|---|
|
The function succeeded. Note that this also includes the case of an empty extension, such as a period with no characters following it. In that case, the original string is returned unaltered. |
|
This value can be caused by several things, such as the pszPath param being set to NULL, the cchPath being set to 0 or a value greater than PATHCCH_MAX_CCH, or the extension string containing illegal characters or otherwise not being a valid extension. |
|
The original string already has an extension. |
|
The buffer is too small to hold the returned string. |
