Syntax

LPWSTR GetTrusteeNameW(
  [in] PTRUSTEE_W pTrustee
);

Parameters

[in] pTrustee

A pointer to a TRUSTEE structure.

Return value

If the TrusteeForm member of the TRUSTEE structure is TRUSTEE_IS_NAME, the return value is the pointer assigned to the ptstrName member of the structure.

Note

The aclapi.h header defines GetTrusteeName as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors.
