# Class WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES

java.lang.Object
com.sun.jna.Structure
com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES

Enclosing interface:
  WinBase

@FieldOrder({"dwLength","lpSecurityDescriptor","bInheritHandle"}) public static class WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES extends Structure
The SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure contains the security descriptor for an object and specifies whether the handle retrieved by specifying this structure is inheritable. This structure provides security settings for objects created by various functions, such as `Kernel32.CreateFile(java.lang.String, int, int, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, int, int, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinNT.HANDLE)`, `Kernel32.CreatePipe(com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinNT.HANDLEByReference, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinNT.HANDLEByReference, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, int)`, or `Advapi32.RegCreateKeyEx(com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinReg.HKEY, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, int, int, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinBase.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinReg.HKEYByReference, com.sun.jna.ptr.IntByReference)`.
