The GetAce function obtains a pointer to an ACE in an ACL.
An ACE is an access control entry. An ACL is an access control list.
BOOL GetAce(
PACL pAcl, // pointer to access-control list
DWORD dwAceIndex, // index of ACE to retrieve
LPVOID *pAce // pointer to pointer to ACE
);
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.
