CharToOemBuff info  Overview  Group

The CharToOemBuff function translates a specified number of characters in a string into the OEM-defined character set. (OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer.)

BOOL CharToOemBuff(

LPCTSTR lpszSrc,	// pointer to string to translate
LPSTR lpszDst,	// pointer to translated string
DWORD cchDstLength	// length of string to translate, in characters
);

Parameters

lpszSrc

Pointer to the null-terminated string to translate.

lpszDst

Pointer to the buffer for the translated string. If the CharToOemBuff 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 CharToOemBuff is being used as a wide-character function.

cchDstLength

Specifies the number of characters to translate in the string identified by the lpszSrc parameter.

Return Values

The return value is always nonzero.
