- nBufferLength
Specifies the size, in characters, of the string buffer identified by lpBuffer.
- lpBuffer
Points to a string buffer that receives the null-terminated string specifying the temporary file path. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in characters, of the string copied to lpBuffer, not including the terminating null character. If the return value is greater than nBufferLength, the return value is the size of the buffer required to hold the path.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. |
