ULARGE_INTEGER

The ULARGE_INTEGER structure is used to specify a 64-bit unsigned integer value.

Note  Your C compiler may support 64-bit integers natively. For example, Microsoft® Visual C++® supports the __int64 sized integer type. For more information, see the documentation included with your C compiler.

typedef union _ULARGE_INTEGER { 
  struct {
      DWORD LowPart; 
      DWORD HighPart; 
  };
  ULONGLONG QuadPart;
} ULARGE_INTEGER, *PULARGE_INTEGER; 

Members

LowPart
Specifies the low-order 32 bits.
HighPart
Specifies the high-order 32 bits.
QuadPart
Specifies a 64-bit unsigned integer.

Remarks

The ULARGE_INTEGER structure is actually a union. If your compiler has built-in support for 64-bit integers, use the QuadPart member to store the 64-bit integer. Otherwise, use the LowPart and HighPart members to store the 64-bit integer.

Requirements

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 95 or later.
  Header: Declared in Winnt.h; include Windows.h.
