The GetSecurityDescriptorOwner function retrieves the owner information from a security descriptor.
BOOL GetSecurityDescriptorOwner(
[in] PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSecurityDescriptor,
[out] PSID *pOwner,
[out] LPBOOL lpbOwnerDefaulted
);
[in] pSecurityDescriptor
A pointer to a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure whose owner information the function retrieves.
[out] pOwner
A pointer to a pointer to a security identifier (SID) that identifies the owner when the function returns. If the security descriptor does not contain an owner, the function sets the pointer pointed to by pOwner to NULL and ignores the remaining output parameter, lpbOwnerDefaulted. If the security descriptor contains an owner, the function sets the pointer pointed to by pOwner to the address of the security descriptor's owner SID and provides a valid value for the variable pointed to by lpbOwnerDefaulted.
[out] lpbOwnerDefaulted
A pointer to a flag that is set to the value of the SE_OWNER_DEFAULTED flag in the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_CONTROL structure when the function returns. If the value stored in the variable pointed to by the pOwner parameter is NULL, no value is set.
If the function succeeds, the function returns nonzero.
If the function fails, it returns zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
