Parameters

lpSystemName

Points to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the system on which the privilege name is looked up. If a null string is specified, the function attempts to find the privilege name on the local system.

lpLuid

Points to the locally unique identifier by which the privilege is known on the target system.

lpName

Points to a buffer that receives a null-terminated string that represents the privilege’s name. For example, this string could be “SeSecurityPrivilege”.

Points to a variable specifying the size, in characters, of the lpName buffer. When the function returns, this parameter contains the length of the privilege name, not including the terminating null character. If the buffer pointed to by the lpName parameter is too small, this variable contains the required size when the function returns.

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.
