Function windows_acl::helper::name_to_sid [−] [src]

pub fn name_to_sid(name: &str, system: Option<&str>) -> Result<Vec<BYTE>, DWORD>

Resolves a system username (either in the format of "user" or "DOMAIN\user") into a raw SID. The raw SID is represented by a Vec<u8> object.

Arguments

name - The user name to be resolved into a raw SID.
system - An optional string denoting the scope of the user name (such as a machine or domain name). If not required, use None.

On error, a Windows error code is returned with the Err type.
