RtlHashUnicodeString function (wdm.h)

  • Article

The RtlHashUnicodeString routine creates a hash value from a given Unicode string and hash algorithm.

Syntax

NTSYSAPI NTSTATUS RtlHashUnicodeString(
  [in]  PCUNICODE_STRING String,
  [in]  BOOLEAN          CaseInSensitive,
  [in]  ULONG            HashAlgorithm,
  [out] PULONG           HashValue
);

Parameters

[in] String

A pointer to a UNICODE_STRING structure that contains the Unicode string to be converted to a hash value.

[in] CaseInSensitive

Specifies whether to treat the Unicode string as case sensitive when computing the hash value. If CaseInSensitive is TRUE, a lowercase and uppercase string hash to the same value.

[in] HashAlgorithm

The hash algorithm to use. If HashAlgorithm is HASH_STRING_ALGORITHM_X65599, RtlHashUnicodeString uses the x65599 hashing algorithm. If HashAlgorithm is HASH_STRING_ALGORITHM_DEFAULT, RtlHashUnicodeString uses the default algorithm. Currently, the default algorithm is the x65599 hashing algorithm.

[out] HashValue

A pointer to a ULONG variable that receives the hash value.

Return value

RtlHashUnicodeString returns STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or the appropriate NTSTATUS value on failure. The routine returns a STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER value if the Unicode string is NULL, HashValue is NULL, or the caller specifies an undefined value for HashAlgorithm.
