CharToOem info Overview Group

The CharToOem function translates a string into the OEM-defined character set. (OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer.)

BOOL CharToOem(

LPCTSTR lpszSrc,

// pointer to string to translate

LPSTR lpszDst

// pointer to translated string

);

Parameters

lpszSrc: Pointer to the null-terminated string to translate.
lpszDst: Pointer to the buffer for the translated string. If the CharToOem function is being used as an ANSI function, the string can be translated in place by setting the lpszDst parameter to the same address as the lpszSrc parameter. This cannot be done if CharToOem is being used as a wide-character function.

The return value is always nonzero.

LPCTSTR lpszSrc,	// pointer to string to translate
LPSTR lpszDst	// pointer to translated string
);
