- lpAddress
[in] Pointer to the base address of the region of pages to be locked.
- dwSize
[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the region to be locked. The region of affected pages includes all pages that contain one or more bytes in the range from the lpAddress parameter to (lpAddress+dwSize). This means that a 2-byte range straddling a page boundary causes both pages to be locked. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. |
