VB4-32,5,6
Declare Function InitializeAcl Lib "advapi32.dll" (pAcl As Byte, ByVal nAclLength As Long, ByVal dwAclRevision As Long) As Long

Operating Systems Supported
Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later; Win9x/ME: Not supported

Library
Advapi32

Parameter Information
- pAcl
[out] Pointer to an ACL structure initialized by this function.

- nAclLength
[in] Specifies the length, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the pAcl parameter. This value must be large enough to contain the ACL header and all of the access-control entries (ACEs) to be stored in the ACL. See the following Remarks section for more information about calculating the size of an ACL.

- dwAclRevision
[in] Specifies the revision level of the ACL being created.
Windows NT 4.0 and earlier: This value must be ACL_REVISION.
Windows 2000: This value can be ACL_REVISION or ACL_REVISION_DS. Use ACL_REVISION_DS if the ACL supports object-specific ACEs.
