SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
The SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure contains the security descriptor for an object and specifies
whether the handle retrieved by specifying this structure is inheritable.
typedef struct _SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES { // sa
DWORD nLength;
LPVOID lpSecurityDescriptor;
BOOL bInheritHandle;
} SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES;
Members
nLength
Specifies the size, in bytes, of this structure. Set this value to the size of
the SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure.
Windows NT: Some functions that use the SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure do not verify the value of the nLength member. However, an application should still set it properly. That ensures
current, future, and cross-platform compatibility.
lpSecurityDescriptor
Points to a security descriptor for the object that controls the sharing of
it. If NULL is specified for this member, the object may be assigned the default
security descriptor of the calling process.
bInheritHandle
Specifies whether the returned handle is inherited when a new process is
created. If this member is TRUE, the new process inherits the handle.
Remarks
A pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure is used as a parameter in most kernel and window-management
functions in the Win32 API that return a handle of an object.
